Nice video but his knives are a lot of hype. i don't mean they wont cut or look nice but look up the prices he charges.
Google Randy Haas for a lot better deal and just as nice material.
His shop with the hammers are outstanding. Wish I had the air hammer but won't ever happen.

Mike, I've seen pictures of your knives and you do nice work.
I would like to see you have a shop like that too.
This guy specializes in chefs knives.
I'm guessing it's a niche that commands a premium price.
I saw that yesterday and looked up his site. He has a waiting list and it's done by both random AND chronological lottery. It takes several years to even be able to pay him the $6k for one of his knives unless you get lucky in the random. He auctions them too. I think I read he can have over 100 hours in a knife so that's where the $$$$ comes in. I do believe Hobbes may well be right in that he's found a tiny niche to sell to. 5 star restaurant chefs aren't just everywhere. I fully understand the craftsmanship and even some of the "art" of the metallurgy, I guess if one has the money to blow and a position that justifies the expenditure I could see it, but there is no way in hell I'd pay that or jump through those hoops to get one.
If I remember right one went on Ebay and reached the $10,000 mark. That was why I was replying the way I did.
