A one-of-a-kind NoVA-1
Read on for more on this custom, handmade Hogtooth/TKJ NoVA-1 in a special never-before-seen colorway!
If you've ever considered becoming a Knife Junkie patron but just weren't sure, this should do it.
We have given away a lot of blades on Thursday Night Knives over the years. Because I have generous friends and a lot of knives, we've gotten into the habit of holding random giveaways during our live show “Thursday Night Knives.”
We don't promote these giveaways because we're not trying to "buy" viewers or subscribers; rather, we are rewarding return viewers who are part of the conversation.
But the third Thursday of every month is different and special. It’s our monthly “Gentleman Junkie” knife giveaway.
To wrap up and celebrate a great year, we will be giving away the most unique and coveted knife in our GAW history—a custom, handmade Hogtooth/TKJ NoVA-1 in a special never-before-seen colorway.
The NoVA series—named after the tightassed region of suburban D.C. from which we broadcast—is a very exclusive series of knives co-designed by The Knife Junkie and Matt Chase of Hogtooth Knives.
Only 29 NoVA-1 knives have ever been made and are in the hands of an elite cadre of afficianadoes… until now.
I commissioned Matt to make an unserialized NoVA-1 EDC Bowie Knife in the NoVA-2 colorway, and we will be giving it away to one lucky Gentleman Junkie Patron on Dec. 19, 2024.
So if this blade floats your boat, but you missed the boat when they were available, here is an opportunity to put history and a damned handsome and sharp blade in your pocket (or IWB or belt).
Go to theknifejunkie.com/patreon and sign up to become a patron—even if just for a month—for a chance to make this incredibly made knife yours! You can also save some money and sign up for a year instead of month-to-month if you’re interested.
Did the hard sell work? Hope so...
Knife Junkie Out!
Beren McKay, Pepperwool: The Knife Junkie Podcast (Episode 551)
Beren McKay of Pepperwool joins Bob "The Knife Junkie" DeMarco on Episode 551 of The Knife Junkie Podcast.
McKay spent 12 years designing knives, multitools, and other things for SOG and, in 2017, was a frontrunner of the change in the company focused on making quality products that were worth buying.
When SOG was sold to GSM, the new owners were not interested in continuing that vision. Beren and SOG parted ways, and Beren set out to make his own brand so he could continue his work making innovative and solid knives.
The name Pepperwool captures two ideas that Beren strives for in his work: innovation and reliability.
