Episode 143: Rob Baptie
Episode 143
Sunday, 23 November, 2025
Our buddy "Farmer" Rob Baptie of The HateDust Project found a few minutes to sit with us and chat about his knife collecting journey, the origins of the project and its evolution. Rob and his wife Andrea have generated over $2.5 million in charitable funding for a huge array of causes over the last 10+ years. If there's one thing we're even bigger fans of than knives, it's people being good to other people, so it was high time for Rob to join us and reminisce for a minute. Find us atĀ our Patreon and follow us onĀ Instagram @markofthemaker or join our discussion group on Facebook for more conversation.
