Welcome everybody to the Photolab Studios Podcast.  Your escape to the outdoors! Today we welcome Luke Johnson to the show. Luke owns and operates Tyto Knives, my personal favorite knife to run out hunting.  Tyto Knives are manufactured and built right here in the good ole USA with the hardcore hunter in mind. They are a clean and simple, yet highly effective and functional design! When lightweight is the name of the game, you are going to be hard pressed to find a more perfect option.  Their fixed replaceable blade design shores up many of the design flaws of other replaceable blade options and improves upon their successes! Luke and I had a great talk, come to find out we hunt near each other in multiple states and know many of the same locations. Tyto just released their fixed blade option named the Fanning, which proves they aren't just a one trick pony, and a company that will be here for the long haul.  Luke is as down to earth as they come and we had a great conversation about a little bit of everything! Hope you all enjoy the show! Be sure to follow along with Tyto Knives on their social media pages to stay up to date with all the new things they have going on!  And if you dont already, head over to TytoKnives.com and pick up a set, you wont be sorry you did!https://www.facebook.com/Tytoknives/https://www.instagram.com/tytoknives/https://tytoknives.com/
