John Phillips - Bladesmith, Father & Life Sustainability

This week on the pod we are joined by John Phillips! John is a
dad to one, a bladesmith, artist, the owner of Phillips Forged
Knives and a true Today’s Dad! Not only does John make custom
pieces for chefs and celebrities, but John’s work has also been
featured in Sean Brock’s best selling cookbook, South,and he is
the “Forged in Fire Champion” (from History Channel's #1 show,
season 6 episode 20). 


John is a wickedly talented human! His process is so unique and
skillful that he has to make his own tools to be able to create
his knives. We were lucky enough to get a virtual, Zoom tour of
his workshop! His Today’s Dad definition reflects his skills and
talents. He talks about how a Today’s Dad is a role model and
mentor, and helps to provide his kids with the tools they need to
create their path. A big thanks to John for joining us on the
show! Be sure to check out his Instagram to see his beautiful
work,  and sign up for his mailing list!
