011 Show Info – Joshua Swanagon Exposed
Show Topic: Joshua Swanagon of jswanagon.com and Knife and Gear Society
Overview: Dan had the pleasure of meeting Joshua on the annual global bushcraft trip, where he proved himself to be incredibly tough but painful susceptible to “travelers stomach”. During that trip Dan learned that Joshua was a martial artist, editor of a premier international magazine, and knife designer, motorcycle enthusiast and an all around good guy. We talk with him about his some of his knife designs, what it is like to be an editor of a knife magazine, How he stumbled into writing about knives, his philosophy about knives, how he reviews knives, and a few other surprises!
