I always enjoy watching artisan videos.

We watch and post so much shit on the internet, it's good to see stuff like that every once in a while that is educational, interesting, and truly just a work of art. Gotta be a patient man to do something like that! I can only imagine what that axe must cost, lol. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome!

Looks like all the axes in his lineup go for <$500.00 believe it or not.

One similar to this one seems to be around $300

Cool video. Lot's of patience required to do that. I wonder what it smells like in that shop...

 

[DriftwoodSVT]

Very cool.

Old Spice.

It's the only thing that doesn't melt away from his utter manliness.

Awesome skill and craftsmanship!

 

[CobraBob]

I have such high respect for craftsmen like this, especially when just about everything made today is sourced out to China. Awesome work there!

That is truely a work of art. Looking on his website I want to buy a knife so bad. They are beautiful

 

[VirtualSVT]

That is ****ing amazing. I'd loose a finger in about 10 seconds just standing in that place though.

Nice to see actual skill, not programming a cnc machine... Granted the CNC has its place, but his tools will have character and warmth. Great post,now to save some pennies and get those kitchen knives...

 

[Ace5Oh]

So sick! Truly a work of art.

Thanks for posting, he copied the Ramstein video though! LOL

Amazing to see stuff like this still takes place with all of the automation we have today. That automatic hammer/press must be a life safer in their craft.

I was amazed at the tolerance of temperature that was required at the one stage 1280-1300 degrees, if it cools below 1280 it has to be reheated, doesn't really give them much time to mess around with it.
