Made by Hand: The Knife Maker

#FilmFestFridays introduces a knife maker whose precision, skill and love elevate his trade into an art.

A project from bureauofcommongoods.com, Made by Hand is a new short film series celebrating the people who make things by hand—sustainably, locally, and with a love for their craft.

Made by Hand: The Knife Maker is a short film about writer turned knife maker Joel Bukiewicz of Cut Brooklyn. He talks about the human element of craft and the potential for a skill to mature into an art. In sharing his story, he alights on the real meaning of handmade—a movement whose riches are measured in people, not cash.
