Mrs. Knife Junkie's Folders: The Knife Junkie Podcast (Episode 640)

Episode 640 of The Knife Junkie Podcast brings a special perspective to the show as Mrs. Knife Junkie joins Bob DeMarco to discuss her personal folder collection. This episode offers practical insights from someone who carries knives for utility rather than collecting them. Her honest take on what works and what does not provides valuable guidance for anyone looking to choose or gift folders.

Bob opens with his pocket check featuring the Manganas Steel Aurelia, Victorinox Compact, TKell Agent Nautilus, and Cold Steel Recon 1 XL. He announces the November 2025 Gentleman Junkie giveaway: the TKell Knives Agent 001, designed by Bob himself, now machined by Nick Chuprin of NCC Knives. The Knife Life news covers new releases from Les George with KA-BAR, Civivi, CRKT, and Sencut.

The main segment features Mrs. Knife Junkie walking through her folders, including the Buck Mini Range, Spyderco Delica with Emerson Wave, Kershaw Leak, Kershaw Atmos, Kershaw Volt 2, Civivi Mini Praxis, Civivi Elementum, Civivi Primitrox, Sencut Citius, Guardian Tactical GTX-025, and the Bastinelli Creations Diagnostic.

She shares what makes each knife work or not work for her carry needs. The Bastinelli Diagnostic gets special attention as her essential running knife that goes on every run. Her practical concerns about width, clip design, deployment, and how knives interact with clothing and bags provide a perspective rarely heard in knife content.

This episode succeeds by offering a real user experience from someone who carries folders daily without the collector mindset. Mrs. Knife Junkie speaks candidly about features that create problems despite looking appealing on paper. Her collection spans budget to premium options, proving that effective carry does not require massive spending.
