Made By Hand's "The Knife Maker"

By Rain Noe - November 4, 2011

If this Made By Hand mini-documentary was only about a guy making knives it would be interesting; but Cut Brooklyn founder Joel Bukiewicz's story has a lot more to offer. Without revealing any direct spoilers, Bukiewicz initially worked in one creative field, burnt out, and discovered he had a pressing need to make things. Not pretty things, useful things. As time went by, he discovered a creative community of like-minded individuals in Brooklyn and eventually mastered the art of making knives by hand. And as one of just a handful of handmade knife manufacturers in this country, his business has taken off.

Give it a watch, you'll be glad you did:

That video was amazing. Very well shot, well written. I sat there spellbound, I keep checking to see how far in I was hoping that there would be a lot left in the video.
