This couple even makes their own steel - most knife makers don't. Once the steel is made, the rest of the process is similar even if the smith buys their steel.

That was a great watch, I would say that I'm worried about traditions like this or farming dying out, but there's been a "massive" resurgence in the US, UK, and Japan for learning and earning a living on the old ways. Japan is the most at risk though of losing these traditions, the top smiths have a tradition of only having 1 or 2 apprentices and some of the smithing requires a lengthy unpaid apprenticeship, but the government has supposedly started subsiding some of these historic apprenticeships.
