Chris Morocco showed up to make sure Brad had tempered the knife
Oh my this comment is too perfect.
Constanza Perez
Lol😂😂
Shots fired!
LOLOL i came to make the same joke :)
I'm dissapointed that he didn't smell the knife.
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
"Don't ever change" is so true. I love Brad! I would legit watch a video of him just making an iceberg lettuce salad
I'd watch a video of him making babies o.O
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!
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.)
that is gross
My suspicions that Chris magically appears whenever the word “temper” is said are confirmed!
he's like beetlejuice, temper, temper, temper
Oh Sh-
I'm the 666 like for this comment;
Brad: Deleeaaiiiiny!
"CRITICS SAY: 'NOT ALIVE'" laughed sooo muuuch!!
Pause the screen and read the article too. "No easter eggs here. Go outside. Live your life." LOL
Claire Saffitz: "Let me see what you have."
Brad: "A knife!"
Claire Saffitz: "Nooo!"
Chris Morocco: "Oh my god why does he have a kn-"
such an underrated comment
BEST comment ever damn
@@gnbgffgcd3902 a vine
nice
If he wasn't introduced as a chef. Noone would've considered it normal to hand a knife to him
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.
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.
Is that an Anthony Bourdain quote? :) I remember him saying something similar when he had an episode of his show with Bob Kramer.
@Jason Reyes muh nippon
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.
@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).
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"
Brad isn't just fun. He is good at bringing out the fun in his guests.
Occasionally there's a guest that just doesn't understand, but the ones who just go with it always have a great time.
So I guess the "it" in It's Alive is just brad now. I'm fine with that.
He's lively!
"critics say: not alive"
" brads alive" somehow after nOT WEARING EYE PROTECTION
Brad's Livin, baby
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.
"Who's better than us, Vin?" Love that line hahah
"well maybe Bob haha"
Babish lmao. Vinny left Brady for Baby
Brad is by far my favourite host. Hilarious and he can cook 😂
Husband material.
Piri Musiq I don’t even cook, I just watch brad videos cuz he’s hilarious (and I like to watch some Claire struggles too)
3:54
"To the press."
"To the press, Vince"
"Brad makes knife"
*"Critics say: Not Alive"*
Matt Hunzi is an editing God.
and the newspaper says there are no easter eggs! how kind
Did Hunzi edit all it's alive videos? For some reason, I always thought Vinny edited them untill he left.
pictures of the spider boy
@@matthewmacaulay9773 Hunzi edits this series (It's Alive). Vinny was always the camera guy while he was around. Brad always talked to him. Now Hunzi films and edits, I believe.
@@genericembarrassingusernam7843 But what's the translation of the rest? Lol
The hells your eye protection BRAD??
CAN Control there's literally a scene wear he puts on the goggles and the thought bubble said safety first...
CAN Control Ikr
was just coming down here to the comments to say the same thing
He engaged his safety squints, works much better than those pesky safety glasses, untill they don't.
WHERES YOUR PPE BRAD? IM CALLING OSHA
what a sexy knife
alyssa marie more beautiful than most ppl
@@ansonhu2677 Nah, the beauty of that knife is the different layers of hard steel and soft steel. It's the pure impurity that keeps that knife sharp and strong.
The way Brad used the knife to glide through that paper at the end: that is what I imagine heroin feels like.
hahah you're funny. i like
Mdrrr t'es folle
Now just imagine gliding a knife through paper on heroin
ImADogRuff mind=blown
I assume heroin is like when your scissors glide through wrapping paper and then get caught and rip tf out of it.
Bob saying "don't ever change" warmed my heart. It's true. Marry me, Brad
I’m way late to this video, but just wanted to say I hope Brad appreciates that “master class” he just got! There aren’t 10 bladesmiths in North America that make their own crucible steel!
Exactly
*"Don't ever change."* 😍
“No easter eggs here. Go outside.” made me chuckle a bit haha.
Flapjack y
Just gave my family some of Brad's sauerkraut this weekend. I have been getting texts every day about how much they like it. Two jars are already gone. Thanks Brad!
i'm like six pounds deep on the kraut game and my fam loves it too!
"If you love someone, buy them a knife." And hope they love you too and don't stab you with it.
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!
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!
That was really interesting! Love to see more videos like this!
Check out Alex Steele he does a lot of videos like this. And is very high energy.
Another good one is Walter Sorrels. He specializes in Japanese blades. He’s much more calm and really knows the craft
Heiryuu Alec Steele
Matt Vu thanks
I would recommend Alec Steele for good high energy blacksmithing videos, there's also Man At Arms REFORGED for high production videos about swords from movies anime and history and the like.
"Lookin for trouble vinnie” 😂 i love him, he’s so funny
literally no-one:
brad: make a knife, feel aliVE
Im betting bradd had experience doing this sort of thing. He sanded that thing with full confidence
Ahmad Zaki he does woodworking at home I believe
Yeah he woodworks
Welding. But maybe woodworking too, idk.
Well its about damn time bradddddd
Is there anything Chris doesn't know? He's on top of everything! 💕
I really love that bob straight up let Brad do the whole shebang, I'm sure he liked showing brad and Chris around, and obviously Brad had a grade A time
Loves the light saber effect!
wow what an honor to be able to forge by the side of such a legendary bladesmith
"If you love someone, Get em a knife....." Except a Kramer knife, because those things are 6000 american each.
Killian Rosta full sized ultra custom jobs can go fo as much as 50.
You can get the 8 inch chef knife for $350
this episode really shows off the best parts of brad's personality. he's engaged and excited to learn, he brings out the best in his teacher. that kind of honest curiosity is what makes him a great host!
I'd watch Brad do anything. Just keep that guy talking!
Can you two make your own channel? That's all I'm here for, the Brad wit and the Venchenzo editing
100% agree!
Vincenzo
Vicenzo doesn't edit, i forgot who tho! I'll look for his IG but Brad usually tags him
@@kathleenannmodina-angue4540 Matt does the editing
@@akmalhamzah1936 there you go! Matt!
how nice of a person is Bob Kramer, what a legend.
Much more entertaining than Anthony Bourdain's episode with Bob.
Shout out to whoever edits these videos. You're killin' it bro. You make Brad that much more funny. Shout out to Brad, you the homie. I think we could be friends IRL.
No offence to the other shows on Bon Appetit, I'm sure they're good and all, but this guy needs his own channel. I first was introduced when the hot one's guy was on and the rest of my day was watching every episode of It's alive.
Great guy and great editing. Super funny and jolly vibes all around.
I think everyone whose watched one brad video ends up watching them all
Right. And I'm not even really into cooking or going to make any of the items he shows you how to make. But I'm sure going to watch the videos haha
Angela C Brad bingeing..me too lol
I highly doubt he does his own editing I’m sure that’s one of the key reason he’s with Bon Appetit is for professional camera work, editing and people setting up his trips
Binging with Bradish
I see a Brad, I click the Brad. Easy peasy! Yeah Vincenzo!
That man in video deserves the world...he's too sweet
I literally went like three shades lighter when he cut his arm hair😂👌🏼
This is just so awesome. Wish Brad would be my boss. And as always, Vincenzo's editing was on point. 10 out of 10, would eat there again.
Nud Dun you’d eat in a knife shop?
Vince doesn’t edit
Brad & Vin together is like Lebron & Wade
Jamaul Bivins Like Jordan and Pippen
CUT THE.
MAKE THIS.
WORK THIS.
HARDER.
BETTER.
FASTER.
STRONGER.
I had to pause the video at that part so I could laugh for 5 straight minutes!!!
I lost it at this point!
That proofs that brad leone is one half of daft punk! 🤘🏻
I have a shirt that is your profile pic
Time stamp?
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.
that was a seriously awesome episode.
"Every blacksmith knows metal is alive while it's forged"
I just finished all the It's Alive videos and now it feels like my life has turned upsize down.
I have spent the last few hours watching every video I can find with Brad in it. If you cook by feel this guy gets you on an emotional level...and who likes chefs that act perfect? Brad you the real mvp
Finally Brad is back. I was getting sad when i didn't see him post for a while.
He makes lurnin fun. Lol
And i missed yoy as well vinnie
i can only imagine the satisfaction of making a living by using your hands and making a real product.
Just when I thought Brad couldn't get any better, he goes and brings forging into the mix.
You need WOURDER to cool it down, I suppose?
I mean, they use oil..... but yeah. I get it. 😂
a bowl of clam chowder is right, they use earl not wourder.
Nah, too cold.
Parks 50 quenching oil actually
The only person I would spend 3k on for an actual Kramer knife is myself, and still I just can't.
they cost twice that if you can get one. and worth it.
The like vs. dislike ratio is 99.9967 right now, god damn. Brad, you have literally become the face of this channel.
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!
It's magic - one little mention of tempering and Chris is here! 😂
IT'S A'KNIFE!
you're banned, get out
ISSA KNIFE
This is HILARIOUS!! 😂
upsize down 😂 brad i love you
"Upsides down" so precious.
I’ve officially watched all 20 episodes of It’s Alive and all I can this is I need more
Never Stop Brad. Never.
"Oh god! A bee."
Bob Kramer has a calm shop teacher vibe.
DON'T EVER CHANGE!!! Love that everybody says that to you. You are an awesome human being!
OMG A BOB KRAMER COLLAB! This is a great miracle!
I'm a simple guy, I see Brad, I click like.
The way he laughs at 12:04 because he knows how good his edge is.
Brad needs his own show... Entertainment at its finest!
2:52 “this beat is my recital I think it’s very vital to rock a rhyme that’s right on time it’s tricky tricky tricky”
This was so fun to watch!
Also - “upsize down”
Me: Thank god you’re pretty.
🤣😂🤣🤣
shhhhyeahright it’s part of his endearing charm. Although his being pretty doesn’t hurt!
I love how they put "it's alive" on the knife. Cute touch for the series!
I have been an avid RUclips watcher for probably 7+ years and I have never felt the need to comment on a video. But this is single handedly the best video I have ever seen. I am two glasses of wine deep and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this masterpiece. Forever grateful.
“ We’ve left the grinding room, now were hardening this blade” lol heard that before
One of my favorite episodes so far! Always loved Kramer knives, to see the Bob Kramer with my fav Brad, dream came true!
"If you love someone, get them a knife"
Man after our own hearts y'all
This is probably the coolest thing bon apetit has done. Brad is super lucky to get a knife and go and do this. I'm envious.
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.
A Spoooky Ghost! Thanks! Totally checking them out
I had the same reaction! Check out Freerk Wieringa's channel if you get the chance; he's a Scandinavian smith who makes knives and swords.
@John Doe Freerk's channel is great! I've been a fan for awhile now, I only didn't mention him because I felt like I should mention the two youtubers that got me into knife making.
I have seen this process over a hundred times, yet I find this extremely entertaining. Hell, I think Brad could make waiting for the buss interesting enough for me to watch it XD
Dont EVER change Brad! We love you!
watching that knife cut through paper was SO SATISFYING.
I'd love to Brad and/or the Bon Appetit crew create a video on sharpening knives. :)
Where is the salt video we were promised?!
Walter Rice exactly!!!
I was shook watching that knife cut through a piece of paper like butter
Never change, Brad... Never, change...
4:50 this speech is my recital I think it's very vital
Now that's a KNOIFE!
I love how every knife that comes out of that shop is ~unique~ because the metallurgy is always imprecise.
Don't EVER change Brad. What a guy.
Beautiful.
This is a freaking bad ass video!...My favorite one I’ve seen you do...As a person who loves to cook more than anything else, that knife is perfection 👌...it’s more gorgeous than a diamond!...seriously enjoyed this video 😌
Such an amazing personality. Don't ever change.
i'm lowkey obsessed with brad and vinny, but bob is SO charming, and so in love with his craft. this is such a pleasure to watch.
I liked this and the ad hasn't even finished playing yet.
finallyyyy more brad
Brad is like the perfect amount of funny and serious at the same time. Educational and easy on the eyes. (Sorry Mrs. Leone)
Bobs a great character. Too often, old craftsman tend to tense hardasses but this guy was friendly and joking along with Brad
