I’m making a bold prediction - 2023 is going to be the year of the SMALL KNIFE. You guys know I’m pumped about that! I’ve been seeing a lot of really great mini/micro/compact variations on awesome designs including some from TJ Schwarz, Lucas Burnley, and more. I realized somewhere through recording that some of these are already released and others are still preorders/announced - so apologies for any confusion! Let me know what you think we’re going to see more of in the knife world in 2023!Gearing Up is sponsored by NutSac BagsUse code ‘gtdunn’ to save a few bucks & help support the show!Gearing Up is an everyday carry podcast made for the community.The show features interviews with prominent makers and creators from the EDC community, and covers the latest topics in the industry.

In this week’s episode of Gearing Up - I make an attempt to tackle the question ‘Why does outsourced/overseas manufacturing get so much hate?’ I say ‘attempt’ because it was difficult to articulate all my points, but I try. I talk about supporting brands and designers based in the U.S. that either collaborate with brands based overseas, or outsource their manufacturing overseas. Either way - let me know your thoughts! Gearing Up is sponsored by NutSac BagsUse code ‘gtdunn’ to save a few bucks & help support the show!Gearing Up is an everyday carry podcast made for the community.The show features interviews with prominent makers and creators from the EDC community, and covers the latest topics in the industry.
