YouTube description:

Thierry Coursier had a good life as a logistics worker. His salary was great, his work was comfortable and he sat at a desk all day. But, Thierry wasn’t happy. He gave up his 9-to-5 to chase his dream of becoming a traveling knife grinder. Traversing small roads through Paris, Thierry goes from restaurant to butcher to fishmonger, sharpening knives, scissors and everything in between.

Wonderful slice of life video.
But I just spent $275 and a morning managing a metal working friend through an opthalmology appointment to extract metal shavings from their eye...so...Hope he gets back to using safety glasses.

I use a Tormek like the one right at the end - slow speed grinding wheel bathed in water. Safe to use with no eye protection.

I'm always so disappointed in these "great big stories" videos.
They have such amazing, interesting subjects, videos are so professionally shot, but they all end up being too short and not really getting into the meat of things
This video should've been AT LEAST 15min long if not good 30+.
They could've shown how he sharpens different knifes, blades, etc etc, what customers think of him, etc. All their videos are such wasted opportunities
