On this edition of The Knife Junkie Podcast (Episode 588 (https://theknifejunkie.com/588)), Bob DeMarco speaks with custom knife maker Bobby Raines II, who specializes in hand-forged Bowie knives that are as functional as they are beautiful.Bobby shared his journey from making his first "knife-like object" at age 12 to creating his signature "Rainmaker" Bowie, which has gained recognition through knife expert Rolando Escotada. What sets Bobby's work apart is his commitment to traditional forging techniques rather than stock removal, allowing him to create knives that "move like a feather but hit like a sledgehammer."Drawing inspiration from legendary knifemakers Bill Bagwell and James Keating, Bobby's designs combine historical accuracy with practical innovations. He demonstrates how every aspect of his knives—from the sharpened swedge to the ergonomic handles—is designed with purpose, particularly for fighting applications.Whether you're a collector, practitioner, or simply appreciate fine craftsmanship, you'll want to hear Bobby's insights on the art and tradition of American knife making.
