In this new episode of The Truth In This Art, Henry Hyde—artisan and owner of Hyde Handmade Knives—returns to talk craft, community, and creating work that resonates.

Known for his kitchen knives and meticulous approach to materials, Henry reflects on the evolution of his process, from isolating early days in a factory during the pandemic to searching for real connection at local craft shows. We discuss the emotional realities of working alone, the value of hands-on feedback over fleeting online attention, and why practical iteration beats perfectionism.

  • Navigating solitude and the creative process
  • Choosing craftsmanship over mass attention
  • Embracing feedback at markets and in person
  • Letting go of perfectionism and releasing finished work
  • The balance between woodworking, tinkering, and knife making

🔪 Discover how Henry’s handcrafted tools reflect both his roots in Maryland and his belief that true artistry is found in the making—and in the sharing.

🎧 Revisit Henry's first episode from 2022 for more context on his powerful comic-based series.
