Anyone interested in cutlery of any type should watch this. I could hardly believe the commitment these "masters" of the art have. I also learned something from it. I always thought the blades were forged with that graceful curve in the blade. I had no idea how it was really done. It is also informative on foundries of old. If you have not watched this yet do so.
