S3 EP10 Dot Dot Dot with Ben Edmonds - Knife Maker Extraordinaire

In this final episode of Season 3, Gav Thompson talks to Ben Edmonds, the founder of Blok Knives.

Ben has an incredible and slightly bonkers story. Ben was a successful graphic designer who whilst experimenting with pipe smoking (not that kind of pipe), he stumbled across a YouTube video of a pipe smoker in Canada who was also a knife maker.

This started a journey of discovery of Ben teaching himself to make kitchen knives, building his own brand, and in very short order became one of the most in demand artisan knife craftsman in the UK, leading to waiting lists of over 2 years for his beautiful handmade knives, with Michelin starred chefs also queuing for what is now considered one of the best knives in the business.

We chat about the secret to his success, doing one thing well, and how The DO lectures changed his life.

A humble, yet very focused and successful man doing something he loves and being absolutely bloody amazing at it.

Please do have a listen, leave a review and subscribe.

Thank you. See you soon for Season 4 "Living Your Best Life".
