Brad Makes A Knife with Bob Kramer | It's Alive | Bon Appétit

I'm the 666 like for this comment; Brad: Deleeaaiiiiny!

[@anon4096]

That paper test oh my god. I love the look on both of their faces. Kramer knew he would be blown away and you can tell it still made him happy to see another person enjoy his work

[@nevertrustginger]

"Don't ever change" is so true. I love Brad! I would legit watch a video of him just making an iceberg lettuce salad

[@_The-Guy_]

I'd watch a video of him making babies o.O

[@KarryKarryKarry]

Making salad is basically just putting a seed into soil, water, wait, and then harvest. i dunno how that would make for a great episode but i want to see that too now that you've mentioned it!

[@rubyharris6119]

I would watch a video of him, no matter what. I have been saying 'don't ever change' about Brad since the dawn of time(i.e. a few months ago when I discovered this angel.)

Brad isn't just fun. He is good at bringing out the fun in his guests.

[@fakecubed]

Occasionally there's a guest that just doesn't understand, but the ones who just go with it always have a great time.

[@parkerbarnes7726]

Words like "craftsman" and "artisan" get bandied about with abandon these days, but Bob Kramer is an individual that truly embodies the spirit of craftsmanship. The amount of care and detail that goes into his knives is unparalleled.

[@wupme]

Its also not abandoning in europe. Especially Germany. And Sorry Jason, but Japenese knives are not better than hand crafted european or american knifes. They tend to a lot of fancy stuff to them thats only that, fancy. No increase in performance. Damascus stell is already just for fancyness.

[@paulbeatty9676]

Is that an Anthony Bourdain quote? :) I remember him saying something similar when he had an episode of his show with Bob Kramer.

[@HRRRRRDRRRRR]

@Jason Reyes muh nippon

[@ssrunner]

Jason Reyes why do you have to turn it into a competition? We’re talking about this man and his very apparent talents, this video has nothing to do with Japanese knives, which I’m sure are lovely.

[@spids01]

​@Jason Reyes The commercially available knifes are not made by Kramer, or his production. It is partnerships with larger corporations such as Zwilling. If you are buying actual Kramer knifes, they definitely exceed the thousands of dollars. He is the only Master bladesmith specializing in knifes in the US - that is VERY expensive (but worth it).

[@thegardenfarmer]

"Who's better than us, Vin?" Love that line hahah

[@Granger744]

"well maybe Bob haha"

Babish lmao. Vinny left Brady for Baby

[@clintow]

when bob dropped the hot steel, i was like "oh no brad dropped it!" but then we see it's bob and the camera pans to brad who's like "ha! you thought it was me but it WASN'T"

[@alex0589]

Bob Kramer is like if some random guy's uncle made Rolls Royce for royalty in his shop, by himself. The guy's reputation is immense but he seems real down to earth and about the craft. I like Bob.

It's not noodling, but Watching Kramer work is a treat. I watched Anthony Bourdain's Raw Craft video with him like 5 times. Still holding out for noodling!

His expression when he cut into the paper was amazing. Not many people get to experience the feeling that is conveyed through using a quality, hand made product like that. I hope that knife will be put to good use! Well done!

Bob Kramer is such an absolute legend - in fact, I would argue that forging a knife with Kramer for this episode did a disservice to blade smithing/forging; he LITERALLY makes it look EASY! There's just no way that someone can watch this and think that it doesn't look pretty 'easy' and 'straightforward', he just works so effortlessly! Great episode!

[@taprick]

Well its about damn time bradddddd

[@joshuarasmussen772]

Brad, I am a knife maker, a jeweler, and a HUGE fan of yours. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Mr. Kramer is an amazing bladesmith and this was fantastic. I've always wanted to make an induction furnace and it was awesome seeing one actually used.

Oh wow, this is awesome. There's a whole genre of youtube where people hand make knives and I'm kind of obsessed with it, it's cool to see Brad, my favorite non-knife-making youtuber doing a knife making video. If any of y'all that liked this video want to see more videos about making knives, check out Green Beetle and Walter Sorrells. They're my personal favorite knife makers on youtube. Green Beetle is more of an experimental dude, as in a lot of his videos are about making knives out of abnormal materials. The first video of his that I saw, was him making a knife out of fish hooks. It's a great video. Walter Sorrells is more of a knife making guru/technical knowledge wizard. His show has more of the vibe of those awesome 90s - 00s PBS carpentry shows, but knives instead, and they're filled with all sorts of useful information and tips to get started yourself. Due to mostly those two channels, I've gotten into it myself and am about to finish my first knife. It's shit but it's a good start.

[@sanderayala7689]

[@KarryKarryKarry]

Every cook, foodie and chef should do this! These days we need more appriciation for the great craftsmanship that goes into creating everyday tools and utensils. It's just a satisfying experience and you'll take much better care of your tools if you created them yourself. Sorta like going back to a point in time where you could fix things yourself if you weren't a daft meathead. Nowadays many things are made to break so you're gonna have to buy new things.
