The Good Ol' Blades Podcast
Join me as I talk to other knifemakers, craftsmen and artisans in my journey to unpack the mysteries of knifemaking, and the culture by which it's built. This podcast features interviews with many of the men and women who have built, or are building the industry of knives and knife making as we know it today. Visit us at thegoodolbladespodcast.com!

The Good Ol' Blades Podcast
Episode 50 - M.A.C.K. Daddy - Princeton Wong
I think sometimes it's easy to look at successful people and think that it was a gift, miracle or privilege that got them where they are.
But for every success we see as outsiders looking in, there were thousands of mistakes, roadblocks and discouragements that got between that person and their success.
The ones who make it into the stream of our consciousness forced their way into it, like salmon running against a great current.
Princeton Wong, his wife Mimi and his beautiful children are what I see when I follow Prince Customs. Maybe I'm a sucker for a backstory, but Princeton and his support system spur him on to take failure on the chin, and innovate, and that's exactly what he does every day to create works of functional art inside of knives, and the CNC industry.
We sit down and talk about his journey to get to where he is today on this episode.
You can find Princeton and his work on his website, Instagram and Facebook.
