Steel, heat, and a pair of hands that already know what the blade is supposed to become. The Knife Maker follows Matt Harbuck of Fairfield Knife Works through a single knife from raw stock to finished edge — quiet shop light, the rhythm of the work, and the kind of craft that only exists when one person puts their name on every piece.
