Hangler's Modular Takedown System

Tobias Hangler joins us to talk about his new modular takedown system. Every handle fits every blade, so you can order a new handle years later without the blade ever coming back to the shop.

We cover the balance pin pocket that lets you change handle weight at home, why a little grease makes the joint watertight, how he machines repeatable handles on a CNC, and the online configurator for building your own knife. He also shares what's coming next, including full metal handles.

Rate and review the show wherever you listen. It takes ten seconds and helps a lot.
