I haven't looked at all of the posts in this thread, apologies if this is a repost. This is from a lucky guy that visited Takada no Hamono. Takada-sans English is a bit broken, but watching him straighten and sharpen is awseome.
Takada no Hamono

this one is hilarious to me. While I agree with his statement on those cheap damascus knives, he actually sells damascus knives. Maybe he will sell me one of his for cheap?

Don't try this with your Denka

I'm proud to say Audra is a friend of mine. She was taught to forge by Ed Fowler while working part time around his cattle ranch.

She might be the greatest knifemaker in the world but the video is horrible; after 10 minutes of video I still don't really have a clue what type or style of knives she makes and barely saw any of her work.

Also (not really related to her vid) but is it just me, or are the majority of 'knifemakers' and ABS dudes / dudettes usually making non-kitchen knives?

Yes, she makes mostly hunting knives and Bowies. Her husband Mike makes some nice folders from time to time. ABS makers forge what sells and high end kitchen knives are still not that important to the average custom knife collector.

Pretty cool watch with some good information regrading the forging process.

Yeah hard to convince macho dude bros to spent $1000 on a kitchen knife that got used everyday, but cabinet display pieces? Here we are talking

This guy always has way cool vids of making damascus from spent drill bits etc.

Cool looking knife, but holy hell that tip is chonky AF. If he had put some distal taper in it it might actually cut well.
