Brooklyn Knife Maker

This is the video that got removed from a knife forum for profanity. I posted about how that pissed me off.

What do you all think?

I heard a couple of F-bombs, but I thought it was an interesting documentary.

Sounds like BS to me.

A few Fbombs , a few Sbombs
Dude makes some Sweet looking Blades ,
Glad he found his Nitch

Yo G, check these out!

Kakkoii desu ne!

Those are awesome. I'd hate to lose an arrow when your arrowheads probably cost $50 each.

yeah, I bet those are "Sunday go to meeting" arrows.

I think the language in the video is fine.

Of the video itself, and of the thoughts expressed by the subject, I think he's freakin awesome. I want that experience, I have those feelings. I am sometimes...compelled to make something. I've joked in the past about how it's just my inner skinflint, or that I fancied myself better (or a better maker), or whatever. Sometimes those things have been true, I guess. But, the urge to make it, to understand something well enough to produce it myself is *strong*, very strong.

I showed this video to my girlfriend. She said it did sound like me. Then she surprised me with this statement: "I think you should have a shop like that". Wow! I should for sure, that would be made of awesome. One of these days, honey, one of these days.

Brilliant video, thanks Perry!

Another cool knife maker! Saw this in my latest issue of Garden and Gun.

I thought you were making a joke about that magazine title.

The knife looks like it was inspired by a shucking knife.

Duh, just looked at the photo more closely and read the article. Never mind, I won't get far on foot.

Don't worry, you still have two left.

I wonder where he gets his blade materials? The article said his Grandad used old band saw blades.

Looks like sheet steel. Perhaps he's disassembling old diners and bathroom stalls.
