Podcast: The Worn & Wound Podcast
Published On: Wed Dec 10 2025
Description: This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Sam Amis to the podcast to talk about the intersection between pocket knife and watch enthusiasm. Sam is a Worn & Wound contributor, industrial designer, and knife and EDC industry veteran. He just wrote an article that seeks to show in a very specific way the ways in which the knife and watch worlds overlap from the perspective of a designer. Sam has a lot of thoughts on the things that bind these communities together, and it was a pleasure to chat with him. Garrett Jones, Worn & Wound’s photographer who entered the watch community through the EDC world, also joins the podcast to provide his perspective as an enthusiast in both communities. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.
