Hustle and Grind

Listen for free

**Hustle and Grind** podcast is hosted by Ryan Coakley from Coakley Knife Company and Noah Bloomberg from Entiat River Forge. It's a weekly show where these two custom knifemakers talk about the world of bladesmithing and building a business around it. They cover topics like forging blades, grinding, heat treating, choosing handle materials, marketing and selling knives, handling customers, and the daily effort required to run a small maker business. The conversations stay light-hearted and fun, with plenty of humor, random stories, games they play, and times when the discussion goes in unexpected directions. The podcast has an honest, straightforward style. You get practical shop advice, encouragement for people working hard at their craft, lots of laughs, and real discussions about balancing knife-making with everyday life. If you enjoy custom knives, blacksmithing, or hearing from makers about their journeys, this show offers good inspiration and useful information. You can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other platforms—just search for "Hustle and Grind" with Ryan Coakley. New episodes come out regularly, and it has a strong following in the knife-making community. They often mention their sponsors, including AmeriBrade, Phoenix Abrasives, Baker Forge & Tool, Texas Farrier Supply, and others who support their work.© 2026 Ryan Coakley
