HTP Podcast

In this episode, we dive into the art of custom knife-making and explore the collaboration between Huntech Pro and Bokmal — a partnership that began in 2020 with the creation of our very first custom product, the HTP Hunter knife. Built from 5160 High Carbon Steel and finished with a Tamboti Wood handle, this all-purpose hunting knife features a belly ripper for skinning and butchering game.
 
Thinus shares the craftsmanship behind each knife, from the HTP Hunter Damascus Version to the HTP Carnivore, HTP Kaiju, and the latest addition, the HTP Sentinel slip joint knife. We also discuss custom blades designed for Huntech Pro clients and the passion that fuels every handcrafted piece.
 
If you're a hunter, knife enthusiast, or someone who appreciates fine craftsmanship, this episode is for you!
