Hello everyone, and welcome to this week's episode of Knafs@Nite. This is a show where we talk about Knafs, things adjacent to Knafs, and other things - not always related to Knafs.
This week we talk about thievery, deception, and the term "Made In The USA" and what it really means. Also, Austin's beard is coming in quite nicely.

The Little Lulu
If you haven't heard yet, we're a week into our latest Kickstarter campaign for the next addition to our Lulu Family: the Little Lulu. Not only is the Little Lulu our smallest Lulu, but it's also the first knife we're making in-house, here in Utah, which is in the United States. You'll see why we were so specific about that below.
Made in USA
Professor Petersen explains the reality of what "Made in USA" means.
It's not cut and dry, has some twists and turns, and is not all domestic. Sometimes it's more foreign than you might think - sometimes it's just about materials - sometimes it's not real at all.
There's even a grill involved in Prof. Benny's explanation.
Ship Shape Sharpening Shop
Okay, so the last time around, we told you Keith wasn't real - that he was AI. That was a lie. Keith is the basis for the T-1000 model from "Terminator 2: Judgement Day". He's liquid metal, which is why he has chosen this place and time to make sure all the metal he touches is the sharpest of the metals.
Made in USA: Caselaw
Professor Petersen - and his luscious locks - takes us through the world of caselaw to further educate us on the phenomenon known as "Made in USA".

- @nothingsreal6810 praises Ben for taking the high road (we do too!).
- @SirGalath waxes poetic on the idea of originality and how it is inspired.
- @Weisslikesknives knows who we are! This is epic!
- @redbullbundy loves a good choil - and texture.
- @ixlatif likes Racoons...

- Pillows can be inspiring too...
Made in USA: Is Anything Made In USA?!?!
This is more valid than any of us probably would ever have thought to consider. Ben brings the knowledge by using a recent MAJOR change in knife steel production as well as some other important points.
... Including pizza ovens.
Product Spotlight
This week, we're focusing on the Lander 3 - Clip Point. This is a dandy of a knife that looks good and works better. S35VN for the win here, folks!
Fresh Prints
As you know, we're all about open source around here. Heck, there are like 15 3D-printed Little Lulu's on the Moon Crew FB page right now. We love it. We encourage people to get involved in 3D Printing.
And now, a major company is...
Boom. Done!
We hope you enjoyed this week's episode of Knafs@Nite. We know we did! Anytime Ben wants to spend hours printing out sheets of data to present to all of you in hopes of teaching you something new, we support it. Kind of. We're out of printer ink in the office. No one wants to go buy any. Deep sigh...
