Aaron documented the process which is a boon for those of us intereted in design and manufacturing. About 11 hours of footage was was shot during the creation of the knife, and then that was condensed down to the video. It took them almost four days to edit the footage. The knife itself took Gough Custom about 14 hours to finish.
