New Outdoors TV Series Starring Sarah Palin Debuts Thursday Night on the Sportsman Channel

April 2, 2014

Head to any locale in America’s great outdoors and you’re sure to meet some great people. Now, the Sportsman Channel’s newest show introduces you to a few of those amazing characters with a little help from former Alaska Governor and presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Amazing America with Sarah Palin will feature incredible stories of people, places and pastimes connected to outdoor lifestyle. Among those featured in early episodes are DeeDee Jonrowe, a cancer survivor and Iditarod’s top woman dog musher; world champion markswoman Julie Golub; and professional wrestler James “The Cowboy” Storm, whom you may also know from his star turn in Country music duo Montgomery Gentry’s music video Longnecks & Rednecks in 2011.

The show also will showcase sports and events that typically don’t make the cut on outdoors-centric programs. Look for episodes featuring a blacksmith championship, racecar driving pastors, taxidermist and – our personal favorite – knives makers.

The First Lady of the Outdoors occasionally will be joined by various co-hosts including comedian and actor Mark Christopher Lawrence; outdoor TV reality host Benny Spies; and Jerry Carroll, a farmer, agricultural speaker and comedian.

“You know you’re mending fences, you’re moving your cows to your winter pasture, and you get a call asking if you’d like to do a show with Sarah Palin,” Carroll told Breitbart Sports. “My first thought was how much have you been drinking this morning?”

No matter your politics, Amazing America is sure to pique the interest of any avid outdoors enthusiast. And we here at Sarge Knives support any effort to shine the spotlight on the amazing people who love our nation’s natural surroundings as much as we do.

Amazing America debuts Thursday, April 3 at 8 pm ET/PT on the Sportsman Channel. Tune in, then post your thoughts on the Sarge Knives Facebook Fan Page.

Documentary on Legendary Portuguese Knife Sharpeners in the Works

March 28, 2014

“Knife sharpeners existed in great numbers, in a time when the hope for the return of a lost king wasn’t needed. Today only one exists.”

That’s the log line of The Last Knife Sharpener, a new documentary in the works about a search for the last knife sharpener in the storied southern Algarve area of Portugal. Five student filmmakers from the United Kingdom are raising production funds to travel to Portugal to shoot the film, based on a centuries-old legend.

The idea was borne in the myth of King Sebastian of Portugal and the Algarves, who disappeared after the Battle of Alcácer Quibir, known as the Battle of the Three Kings, in 1578. Ever since, a myth has persisted in the subconscious of the Portuguese people that one day, the legendary lost king will return and return Portugal to its former glory.

“It is known that when there were many knife sharpeners around, Portugal really flourished – especially Portimão,” the filmmakers said. “We want to find [the lost king] because we think he has the solution for the depressive state the city of Portimão is now in. We believe he could be the reincarnation of King Sebastian of Portugal and the Algarves.”

While the premise may seem far-fetched, the project may prove an intriguing look at a how knife makers and sharpeners contributed to a nation’s history and culture. Got a favorite knife-centric documentary or film? Post it on the Sarge Knives Facebook Fan Page.
