New Knife Makers, Leaving the Kitchen, Custom Shapes and Passion with Galen Garretson of Town Cutler - The Emulsion Episode 55
I chatted with Galen Garretson, Founder and Owner of Town Cutler. From their site: " In 2011, Galen Garretson opened Town Cutler after working in kitchens for over ten years. Before working in restaurants, Galen had always been fascinated with knives, learning how to sharpen knives from his father, who was also a knife nerd." www.towncutler.com www.instagram.com/towncutler In 2011, Galen Garretson opened Town Cutler after working in kitchens for over ten years. Before working in restaurants, Galen had always been fascinated with knives, learning how to sharpen knives from his father, who was also a knife nerd. Receiving his first pocketknife at five, Galen grew his collection to a few dozen by age ten." →YouTube (subscribe): http://geni.us/youtubesubscribe Don't miss a thing: →Website (everything): http://geni.us/site →Instagram (watch my stories/check my photos): http://geni.us/instag →Facebook (live streams/news): http://geni.us/faceb →Patreon (support the show!): http://geni.us/patr →Twitter (talk to me): http://geni.us/twit →Kit (all the gear I use): http://geni.us/kitpage →Snapchat (say hi): jkhan1
