Thanks Brian, that is a real neat thing!
Total primitive/ancient blade smithing! Most of us can easily turn any good steel knife into metal crap practically. Credit to these guys (Tai Goo and Tim Lively) for doing the exact opposite: turning crap metal into fine cutlery and even jewelry with primitive tools. Once I was told that a real atrist can even paint with poop, a bad one can't even with the best oil paint.
