Great video.  I really like what you said about learning something new about your trade every year, very inspiring.  This can be passed onto any interest in life, thank you for sharing.

I am about 40 mi sw of chicago myself in Bolingbrook. I would love to this spring or summer come down and meet you and visit, pick your brain.

Very nice Karl, I'll be looking for the #2 video.
Question, have you ever showed one of your knives to the guy you did not like. just to rub it in?

Guys, I would encourage anyone who might be new at this stuff to take note of little things that show the "philosophy" to which Karl subscribes. BMA noticed it already. Set a goal to learn, whether it's a class once a year or to go to a shop visit, or to join an organization, etc. Having a goal and sticking with it is how one achieves his level of craftsmanship. I'm sure we'll see more in the subsequent part/parts if we are watching close. It's amazing how closely my own experiences in knife making parallels Karls.

Nope - but don't think I haven't thought about that a hundred times!

Thanks, Lin. I do want to point out that these are not "How TO" videos.
These are "Who Is?" videos.

Good stuff Karl. I love to learn about my craft and other topics of interest. Cool things happen when you can bring skills or knowledge together on one item.
Thanks for doing this,I can't wait to see the rest

Very nice Karl. I agree that some of the maker should be in the knives they make. It's nice to see some of the person that poured themselves into the knife. Adds personal value to each knife that leaves your shop. No doubt that you're customers will feel the same.
