Before we get started, a real moment with the chefs. Sheldon sharpens his knives every day. Stefan applies wrinkle cream every day. Discuss. Anyway, Padma welcomes the chefs to a Quickfire Challenge with Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer. He makes custom knives that sell for $500 an inch. So yeah, you're not picking up any of these at Williams Sonoma anytime soon. To prove they're worth the money, Kramer demonstrates that he can cut an inch-thick knife with a single thwack. Holy crap.

Strings Of Imagination screens as part of The St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase on Monday, July 9th at 5:00pm at the Tivoli Theatre, 6350 Delmar Blvd.

The new documentary Strings Of Imagination focuses on the modern performers and craftspeople of Bob Kramer’s Marionnettes who work out of their own theatre and workshop in St. Louis. Strings devotes much of its running time to interviews with namesake Kramer and his partner Dug Feltch who talk about the...

As would be expected, chefs and food industry experts take to talk shows to hype new books, TV shows and products. Sometimes those demonstrations get a bit crazy and awesome. Here are five of the best moments from 2011.
1. Watch a Knife Cut Through Full Coke Can: Bob Kramer makes really sharp knives. They sell for thousands of dollars. They are so sharp they can cut through completely full cans of Coke.

4. Richard Blais and Jimmy Fallon Love Liquid Nitrogen: Apparently, Jimmy Fallon loves to play with liquid nitrogen. Especially when Top Chef:...
