Some of you may know Bob Kramer. Kramer makes incredible kitchen knives, of which I have a few. He is now the subject of an episode of the new series starring Anthony Bourdain, called Raw Craft - Go Kramer!

That is a totally awesome video what a great workshop you just got to love that forming machinery along with a drill press for each size of drill bitt and a belt sander for every grit grade. A lot of skill and technique I suspect goes into making each knife.

Thanks for posting Doc

That was very interesting!  It's always motivating to see somebody who can follow their passion like that.

Would love to get my hands on one of those knives.

Those knifes? Some sort of container Damascus?  Or some highly modified damascus technique? Very cool though.

I love videos like this. I occasionally teach an Aircraft Structural Materials course and this video will be shown in the next class.

The production quality of the video itself is great. I have watched one other so far, about a tailor who entirely hand stitches the suits he makes. Again the cinematography is beautiful.
