Bob Kramer forges his knives from layered steel and, often, meteorites.

Bob Kramer found his love for knives after he decided to leave the circus.

He landed a job in the kitchen at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seattle, and realized he was fascinated by the craftsmanship that went into a good knife.

Rather than stay a knife hobbyist, Kramer decided to set out on a course to become one of the world's most renowned knife makers.

Gabriel Spitzer traveled to Olympia to talk with Bob Kramer about his not-so-pointed path toward making knives from meteorites.
