I first met Rich Patterson at a hammer n in 2018 at Dragon's Breath Forge in CT, and I could tell that Rich was going to be a very promising maker. Just this last year at Blade Show, Rich's chef's knife won the Best Chef Knife award at the show. Rich has become a good friend over the years and has developed some really cool techniques for making knives. I am looking forward to talking to him more about these techniques, and learning more about Rich's journey - it's going to be a great chat!
