[Jason] Look at the bridge.
[Nakoa] Whoa...
[Nakoa] Are we gonna play here, Papa?
[Jason] Why don't we go ask the director?
-[man] Hey, how are ya? -[Jason] Good.
-[Nakoa laughing] -[Jason laughing]
[Jason] For two decades now...
I've been a story teller.
This journey as led me to meet incredible artists and craftsmen all over the world.
Every characters is an opportunity
and a privilege to build a story alongside these artists.
I am going to venture out some of my favorite artists and craftsmen
to discover what inspires them.
I'm going to enlist them
to build custom, one-of-a-kind pieces for stories I'm telling.

[soft music playing]
[Neil] Growing up, I used to always be introduced as
Riki's son and it used to drive me nuts.
And I told my dad when I was little
one day nobody will know you except for Neil's dad.
I just always had that weird like drive.
[soft music playing]
My great-grandfather,
he was the first blacksmith that was shipping his K knives
to other islands to the pineapple plantations to many different places.
And he ended up opening a blacksmith shop in Hilo.
It was there like from 1932 to when he died in 1990
he was the last living blacksmith in Hawaii.
And when I was born, they named me Neil Teiji Kamimura
which is after the blacksmith and so I always kinda carried that weight.
This is a... rep. That is the...
replica sign of my great grandfather's original sign in Hilo.
[Jason] Wow.
My buddy had made it for me
off of a photo that was in the newspaper article.
[Jason] Made for first season and second season,
made my finale swords.
We turn them into rubbers.
And that I going do all the damage that I do, right?
[Nakoa] You make the snake skin ones, Uncle?
[Neil] Yeah.
That's so cool.
[Neil] That's my prized possession.
I can make real knives. I can't make this.
[both laughing]
Right. I can't, man.
[Nakoa] The soft flimsy one?
-No, I can't make that. -[Jason] I can't make that.
Jason DM me through Instagram and asked me I could make a sword in 48 hours
and bring it up on Mauna Kea. And I did it.
I needed something very quick.
And I put it out there to him. It was like the total Hail Mary.
Like I need this knife now. It needs to look like this. Can you pull it off?
And this guy just like, you know, I don't know,
48 hours bangs this thing out.
Shows up on Mauna Kea with it. I'm like "It's perfect." And it's what I use in a,
in See for the finale.
It was a beautiful thing and through that I just kinda like try to have friends,
each character I play, I just move to another artist.
And we uh, build stuff together.
[upbeat music playing]
When we start a movie,
you know I'll have wardrobe department, the props department
and you get to see these best of the best.
I love that. It's my favorite department. That and props I love.
Finding these unique pieces helps me form a character.
And I love that process.
But it is even more meaningful to have them handcrafted by some of my closest friends.
[whirring]
Neil and I both have multi-generational roots in Hawaii.
And that definitely influences our eye and the way we look at art.
Being born in Hawaii and raised in Iowa, I definitely
most of life wanted to get back to Hawaii,
even though I have strong foundation in Iowa.
I feel like if you're rooted in like craftsmanship in the first place,
your grandparents, your grandpa and your uncles
and they're all like work with their hands.
You know my mother's so heavy into antiques and photography
and all my uncles and my grandfather are musicians.
The things that I ended up liking kind of got me out of my own path.
Climbing and skateboarding all these things kinda gave birth
to you know, me always constantly me being wanting to get out
and journey to different places, so um...
Hence the name On the Roam.

-[Jason] How's it going, dude? -Welcome to Texas.
[Jason] All right.
-My Man! Holy shit! -How many fucking years does it take to see you again?
[both laughing]
[Jason] Along my journey to build these custom pieces,
I went to Texas to see my friend Richard Baggett.
An extremely skilled knife and jewelry maker.
Yeah!
I want to soak in as much as I can from him about his process
and where he finds his inspiration.
Oh, the sun is just gonna set right here, bro?
-It sets right here, doesn't it? -[Richard] Yeah.
Wow, man. It's beautiful.
[Richard] And this all inspired by Navajo jewelry.
But I'm not a Navajo nor would I ever claim
-my jewelry is Navajo. -[Jason] Yeah.
[Richard] I just try to put the Old West
sort of mountain-man feel on everything.
Brah, that's beautiful.
[Richard] This is important.
Tomolo Tomahawk's on the back, and these are from friends,
pieces I've collected.
[Jason] I'm trying to remember how was it that I contacted you?
That was from Chopper Supply Co.
[Jason] Yeah.
-And I guess you met Kenny and you met Justin. -Yeah.
And somebody said my name. And I get a telephone call.
It was like. "Hey, dude."
"Holy shit, what's-up man?"
Can you make something for me? I was like, "Okay."
There are lot of those phone calls and there's probably
a lot of stories about me.
Where you get a phone call going, "Hey, Jason Momoa.
Uh, I really love your stuff.
Could you do this do this do this? But I need it in six hours."
Ever since that first call with Richard,
we've had a creative partnership and a bond between us that's still going strong.
These are ones that I've made over the past two years.
-Yeah. -I've got as my first year for being sober.
-Yeah. -I made this for my two year anniversary.
Oh bro, that's a hand work man.
I have so much to learn from him.
He has this incredible wealth of knowledge and he's so enthusiastic about sharing it.
She fought alongside Geronimo
she could feel it in her hands where the enemy was.
-Really? -So she's known like a medicine woman too.
-She'd feel it in her hands? -Yeah.
-I'm gonna use that. -Good.
I love all that, cause I love taking that and putting it in the characters man.
[Richard] I still make knives and everything.
-Yeah. -But I'm trying to learn some new things.
This is my...
Oh, Man!
This is my silver studio.
[Jason] Richard and I share that eye for the imperfect.
We just see the things the same way.
And we're drawn to the same style.
[Jason] Yep.
I try to keep a real personal, very personal
relationship with the client.
I mean as much as you can being over the internet but...
Uh, so they feel like they're really investing in
something I really cared about.
And I had them in mind while I was making it.
And I can't tell you how much that means to somebody.
[Jason] Just watching him slowly form a stone or scrap of metal
into some beautiful piece only he could have made.
There you go.
[Jason] My mom really really collects a lot of old antiques
and she used to take me antiquing and I would be like, "Uh, that's annoying!"
Then I started to see like these whole vintage bell jars
and I'd see these old vintage spoon
and I just like, it's been so read into me to uh see these things
and see the patina and what it's been through
you know, nature's effects
on man-made things it was very instilled into me at a young age.
[Richard] All that black, hopefully it'll weather in really nice.
-It just looks like its been around for a while. -Right?
And that's why, I get a kick out for that.
It's beautiful. Look at that, aw!
[Richard] And you know what? To be honest with you,
being involved with you and doing stuff. It has affected my art,
because I didn't realize that I liked the way you
liked things that were beat up and I didn't realize that.
That that's okay that everything that I thought was cool and rustic and
is loved by other people. Which gives me even more
you know fuel to keep doing things the way I do 'em.
I discovered Wabi-Sabi, it's a Japanese philosophy of like
imperfection, perfection and what is the definition of perfection is that you know,
spring in it's blossoming is it the perfect flower in summer.
And so when I look at something that's a wallet or a pair of pants or something
there's just this style that you just go and I don't know I just had it.
As long as I keep my eyes open and look at all the overlooked details of life
I just see so many gorgeous things and it makes me happy.
The thing is really uh, I give a lot of credit to my mother
and how she saw the world.
I kind of now have become this
you know, appreciate all these things and then can use it to make my art.
[Richard] There are artists that you've worked with
-and then we all get to know each other. -Yeah.
You know, we kind a build this bond and a support system
for each other and we're always there and it makes...
It makes it so enjoyable to know that there's a community.
The things that I do, whether it is a painting,
like a set of jewelry or metal or whatever,
is that I try to bring my own
art, my own style to it. So when you look at it,
-"Okay, that is Richard Baggett." -That's true.
You know what I mean? And it may not be the best or the most beautiful,
but by God, it's something I made
with everything that's in me, at the best of my ability
-at the time you got it from me. -Yeah.
So every piece is a piece of my journey.
[soft music playing]
[Jason] Richard and I have collaborated on weapons for
previous shows and movies.
But I really wanted to task him with building something unique
for Baba Voss of my series See.
So I made tons of weapons on Frontier.
So right now I'm making ones for-- so I have these wolverine claws on See.
They went out, but that looks so rad he had a big bundle of elk tines and deer tines.
So I'm making some right now, look at that.
Put a big knife right there, [grunts] like that.
So I'm just gonna--
[laughing] You scare the shit out of me with that.
[indistinct chatter]
One right there.
Hooked in.
-Nice, huh? -Yeah.
[Richard laughing]
You know what I'm saying?
[Judicael]
One incredible thing that I've noticed,
is that I have the natural ability to feel it,
without calculating it.
This is how it starts, I usually have a flash vision of it.
It comes in my mind, like a flash.
Like, if somebody puts a photo and remove it.
So I see it, I'm like, "Oh." And I try to hang on to that vision.
His art is like nothing I've ever seen before.
I don't know, when I'm doing something, like, I don't have that sense of perfection.
His is perfect and meticulous.
[Jason] As an actor, it's my job to study different, you know,
behaviors and how people are, I think Judicael
is a, he's a very, very interesting character.
He's a visionary. I don't have that kind of artistry in my DNA.
It's just such a fine-- He's a fine painter.
He's working with like the most precious stones and jewels.
You know, if he, if he makes one, that imperfection,
it's gonna crack and fall apart.
[Judicael] The gemstone is like the cherry on the cake.
It's like, this is what's gonna make it,
you know and there's some frequency and energies.
Sometime it's the smell, it's the texture, the color.
[Jason] I am such a fan of Judicael's art.
I wanted to collaborate with him on some jewelry ideas I have
for a character I'm developing.
[Judicael] Jason.
-[indistinct chatter] -Oh, look at that.
Yeah, welcome to my den.
[soft music playing]
When Jason got in touch with me,
I guess that was when he was filming Justice League,
and he is representing Aqua Man which is
the King of Atlantis, right?
And which is very interesting because
those skulls I was making
and the skull that he got actually was the name of an ancient King of Atlantis.
And so, without knowing uh, all of them made sense.
[Jason] I think there's a big inspiration when I first saw
one of his pieces and it was a very much an ode to Atlantean kings.
And I was like, "Wow, it would be really cool, this is so beautiful, we make this."
I wanted to make a Greenstone
a pounamu so we needed to get the proper material, and so--
We then decided to make it out of pounamu which is Jade that came from down here
in Aotearoa.
It's really one of a kind,
to be able to have that.
And obviously, I brought these to Aqua Man and kinda going like,
"Oh, this would be amazing for Aqua Man, right?"
And the great thing is I get to build these characters,
build these characters and find these different little things.
-Each different guy, so it leads me to Fast X... -Yeah.
Where I am a very flamboyant villain who's
extremely dangerous and patient.
I wanted this character to be very...
he had everything taken away from him.
He's definitely the devil.
And we would just spitball some ideas.
It would be nice to have something that just
-I'm planning on having my shirt open... -Yeah.
Very much like a rosary in a way, but it ain't a rosary,
It's an opposite version. So maybe if it's, maybe put the little bone.
I love it. This is also I love building these character,
I'm like, "Oh, this is gonna help me with this and this is gonna help me with that."
It's such an honor to be able to highlight your buddies, then to put it on another show
and play a character using their stuff. It's like,
to me it's just I mean, that's the top of the top so.
I'm always, I wanna make them proud and they're making me proud.
Sitting still for me is brutal.
You know, I'm not very...
I got to be moving. [chuckles]
During this quest, I finally met some new knife makers
that I've been admiring for a while.
Terry Shanks and Jason Keen.
I wanna challenge them with a custom knife idea for my show See.
Let me know when I can post it.
It's where it all happens, right here.
This is an old shitty garage
but I turned it into a knife shop.
It's your knife shop. How long you been here for?
I actually grew up in this house. I inherited it after my folks passed.
-Oh, you grew up here? -Yeah.
-Oh, wow. -My wife and I have been working on it ever since.
[Jason] It was everything I wanted it to be.
What I thought Terry and Jason would be like
and going to Texas and building a knife.
At first, I think everyone was just kinda like, "Who is this?"
I'm very excited to be there, so they're all like, "Hey, relax a little bit."
Everyone's from Texas and then, it is kind of...
They get to know me,
and then they just... know it's me.
I'm just excited to be there and hang out with them.
I don't think I've ever seen another craftsman like Terry.
His work is immediately recognizable.
Every single piece that he creates carries its own story.
And you would never guess that it came
from a little small garage in the middle of Texas.
I play so many different characters on shows where I like to build
different things for my characters.
And so I came across you,
making brass knuckles.
And I wanted to have that for my character on See.
'Cause I wanted something to...
come from different wars and I wanted to have a trench knife.
He rode down from Wyoming and...
we both had a trench knife idea
we were bouncing back and forth and...
When that thing was finished, one of the first people I thought of...
I was... and I told him. I was like, "You know who's gonna want this thing?"
Then he goes like, "Jason fuckin' Momoa. He's gonna want that."
-Ins... -[Terry] You got... we were eating dinner.
We had just sold it to a preferred client
-all three of us share or whatever. -[Jason] Yeah. Yeah.
And I shit you not. I had just said,
"I can watch right when you sell this, dude."
I'm gonna get a message and I shit you not.
-You sent a message like... -[man] Oh, my God.
-I was like, "Why the hell... -[Terry] Yeah.
...would you post this and not tell me."
Because then I gotta get all your artists together.
-[man laughing] -That was the cool thing.
But regardless, whoever got it, lucky you.
I'll find you.
-I'm sorry. -[all laughing]
[rock music playing]
[rock music continues playing]
[Jason] It was like being in the furnace.
This is his childhood home.
But it's... all of his buddies were there.
And we're just sweatin' over the forge.
It was very, very surreal.
[rock music continues playing]
[whirring]
[air hissing]
[waves splashing]
[Neil] Six years ago,
I was dealing... I've been taking care
of my mom, uh...
my whole life. You know, since I was 18.
My mom had mental issues and, uh...
she kinda was... losing it a little bit
and I had to, like, step away from her.
'Cause I was going through a divorce and...
I had a nine-year-old son, Maddix, at the time.
And so, like, it was, uh...
pretty difficult time and, uh,
she ended up, um...
She ended up taking her life.
Uh, she wrote me...
a letter. She, uh...
left me a voicemail and, uh, she...
she, uh... was very unhappy with me.
That was, like...
a fork in the road for me.
And at the same time, I... my life was
full of problems, like...
I had... by that point in my life,
I probably tried to kill myself ten times, you know.
Just so happened...
this buddy of mine gave me a forge and...
gave me a anvil and he told me,
he's like, "Dude, you ain't got shit in your life.
Like, you know, you should...
'forge' your problems out." [chuckles]
So I literally put in a piece of leaf spring
that I had for my '49 Cadillac
and I forged a knife and...
the first hit...
that I took,
like, I knew that this is what I was supposed to do
for the rest of my life.

[waves splashing]
[air hissing]
[Jason] All right. [claps]
-Okay. -Make some knives.
We're gonna make a first ever
Momoa family knife.
'Cause I've never got to make a knife,
um, with you guys before.
[Neil] And so we need... we're gonna need to hammer
this to a point.
So that it's gonna look like this.
[Jason] Okay.
Him being a family man,
me being a family man,
and having our babies in Hawaii.
And we're doing Chief of War right now.
And I get to bring my kids to his shop.
And both of us hammer on this metal
and make our knife together.
It's something I've always treasured.
[Neil] You wanna be able to pick it up.
Then you gonna... gotta come straight up with it.
And you're gonna swing as hard as you know you can accurately hit it.
Because if you miss...
it'll rebound and it will... it will bounce
and it can hit you in the teeth.
It can... whatever. You know what I mean?
Well, what I tell people is,
every knife that you get from me
is a problem...
that I've had in my mind
that I'm getting out. Like... [chuckles]
Knife making takes a throttling
of pressures, right?
So at some point you need
the most abusive force you've ever seen.
Like, you need to actually smash steel with a hammer.
[Jason] To be able to make something together,
that's what it's all about.
And my son's very much into knives.
But my daughter, she's a...
she's a little toughie too. So it's...
it's fun to watch her just hammerin' away at it.
And just put all our...
our love and... and strength in there.
To have our own family knife is...
it's pretty amazing.
[Neil] And we live in a world right now is where you go
and if you need a kitchen knife,
you buy the cheapest
blue-colored handle or it's, like,
blue for pork, green for vegetables.
You use it and when it gets dull,
it was ten bucks so you just lose it.
To buy a... a hand-crafted thing,
you have to love it
and take care of it.
And you have an emotional connection to it. And...
people... sometimes don't have their eyes open to it.
I'm a caveman. I live like I'm in the '50s still.
Like, we still cook dinner
every night, we still live off-grid.
Like, you know, and I want people
to have a little piece of that.
[Jason] I... I like things that have, um,
soul within these pieces
that can be handed down to your... to your kids and your grandkids.
And, uh, I hope it inspires people to buy things that, like,
that last a lifetime and... and further.
[engine roaring]
[indistinct clamoring]
[Jason] So this is from Richard Baggett.
When we were there, we picked out...
[tearing]
Picked out the antlers that I wanted.
Picked out the style of knife that I wanted.
And finally it's here. I'm gonna do it for See.
And this'll be on the battlefield.
[blows raspberry]
[laughing] Oh.
Yeah.
Look at that.
I wanted to have an old butcher knife that was just...
that's perfect.
Richard, I love you.
Bro.
Richard Baggett. Look at that.
Ooh.
Oh, man.
[exhales]
Terry Shanks.
So the knife was...
Jason Keen.
Terry Shanks.
That is amazing.
So he engraves these skulls on these brass knuckles.
Just that hand. I mean, just...
Craftsmanship.
I love it. Damn, Terry.
[groans]
Whoo!
Look how beautiful that is.
When your friends come together and,
you know, do these collaborations
and then I get to be able to put 'em on my show and...
put another art form together with my friends
building fight scenes and then, uh...
you know, make something that everyone can...
be proud of.
And unite all these different art forms. So...
Got a couple ideas for this.
Oh, man. They feel so good!
Here we go.
The depths of mind.
Wow.
So this one's from Judicael.
And I wanted to have, like, the Dom's version.
Dom's version of the cross...
is the ram and the goat for me. So...
Taking Judicael's work,
showing up not knowing if they're gonna love it and going, like,
"What do you think of this? I had this made, and this."
And they're like, "Where did you get this? Oh, my God. It's amazing."
Lucky to support your friends and it's all hand-made artists.
-You dig it, man? -I love it.
-Yeah? -I love it.
Have you ever met an actor so obsessed with, like, all these little bits?
There's not one out there.
-You're the only one. -I'm a freak.
-It's so weird. -You're a freak.
-Thank you. All right. -[laughing]
[guitar music playing]
[Jason] I love these artists.
I love that they're making it
out in their backyard and I love showing the world
what you can do.
Being able to highlight it.
Not only just to see it in the final product
but also put it on a TV show...
take it into battle,
and then have them be stoked by that.
There it is.
Jason Keen. Terry Shanks.
[knives swishing]
Jerlamarel!
[Neil] I can makes knives...
You know, I make knives for the richest people in the world
and it's amazing.
And I'm so lucky and fortunate.
But, you are the only one that's put it on the screen.
And so, that's forever.
It's the finale of, uh, my show Chief of War.
And, uh, my babies... What did you think?
It was amazing.
I get to have my babies here with me. Friends.
Uh, pretty much all my friends are here. And, um...
But while we were here,
I had the opportunity to make...
these beautiful knives and I want to...
Uncle finished our knives.
Our...
hand-made Momoa Ohana knives
-will be all hammered and done -[Neil] Who wants to pull it out?
-Here's the... -Oh, my God. Bro.
Wait. That's the one we made?
-[Neil] Yeah. -Is that the one we made?
[Neil] Yeah.
-What? -Oh!
[Neil laughing]
[Neil] Every one of these strikes.
I watched you make those strikes.
-[softly] This is so freakin' cool. -Look at that.
"Momoa."
Fifteen years I've been trying to make Chief of War.
Directing it, like, on my weekend.
When I'm not directing, spend time with my kids, we make a knife
and then when it's finished, they bring it down to me.
Like, right when we wrap.
It's emotional 'cause there's so many things going on.
To be holding my babies and see it together...
It's there forever.
[Neil] I think a lot of people would fold under the pressure of...
Jason Momoa asking you to make a sword in such a short amount of time.
A lot of people will fold and not take it.
Because they don't wanna be rushed.
I take it because...
one, I love the pressure, and two...
like, my sons are watching.
That's all I ever remember.
Every day.
Is that my sons are watching.
My relationship and my connection
to my mom now...
is that... I try and think about...
that she's watching me.
And that I don't wanna have it in vain.
And so that's why I always have this picture on my desk.
Because when I hit the wall
and I can't work anymore,
and everything is going wrong,
I push through and I won't leave.
I'll stay here till 2:00 in the morning
to fix what I fucked up.
Now I know...
that even though things are good,
my sons are healthy, I love them.
Worked as one unit. Everything is going good.
I know that I still need to be on guard.
Still need to be pushing.
Still need to be driven and never be complacent.
In life or with raising them.
Or in my career.
[Jason] I think just through life, all the things that kinda
guide us to who we are...
obviously has an affect on what we do with our lives.
Um... some people sink, some people swim.
What Neil has done with his life
and how much it's changed him, he's used it...
Uh, something that's very tragic and used it
in a positive way to...
to then inspire his... not only his kids, but...
someone like me, and push forward and, um...
you really see it in his work.
[chuckles] Dude.
[Jason] Gimme some love.
[grunting]
-I love you. -[Neil] Love you.
-[air hissing] -[crackling]
[indistinct chatter]
[indistinct shouting]
[Jason] I had a buddy.
And this is why
it really, like, solidified everything for me.
You know, when... when, uh...
when the Corona virus hit,
my buddy didn't have any work and just...
he made knives out of his house.
And we'd go ride, this little guy's like,
"Bro, I'm, like, losing my house. Losing my family."
-[Richard] I've been there. -Yeah.
And I'm like, "Bro, make me a knife.
I'll... I'll post it. Let's get it out there.
Make one for my kids. Love to buy it."
And so he made 'em and I was just...
Did a little thing. But, he's...
the homie that I just ride with
and he's my buddy. I'm like...
You know, he came to me and he's like...
I like cried, he's like...
-Yeah. -...I have 52 orders.
[Richard] It's been a really cool trip. And...
and, uh...
I have to publicly... you know I thanked you
-many times, but you know... -[Jason] Oh, yeah.
...for someone in your position,
to spotlight,
uh, people like myself,
-you know, musicians, artists, that whole thing... -[Jason] Yeah.
...uh, is a big deal because we go...
we go our whole lives... you know, not...
some of us way more so than others, but...
you want... you wanna have that feeling of "Okay, I've... I've reached people."
-[Jason] Yeah. -You know what I mean?
It is great... it's great that anybody loves your work.
If it's just one person, that's beautiful.
But to be able to reach more people...
uh, especially in this day and age you can.
But thank you for...
-you know, promoting. -[Jason] Oh, thank you.
I think everyone has passions
and things that they've always wanted to do
and they didn't do them.
Well, there's people out there that can teach you.
Probably in your hometown.
And if you go and... and try something new.
I hope that inspires people because...
I just think having these family heirlooms...
are important.
[Neil] I had a picture of Johnny Cash on my wall.
And everybody thought it was super weird
that some local kid...
had a picture of Johnny Cash on his wall.
And so when I started making knives,
I told myself that I wanna be
the Johnny Cash of knife making and everybody's like,
"Whoa, whoa." Like...
"That... that's ambitious."
But Johnny Cash to me, what he represented was...
his songs are simple.
Anybody can pick it up and play it.
But can they replicate it? No.
You have to protect the joy that you have
in your skill set and in your trade.
And I tell people all the time,
like, "Money can buy you anything but time."
[Jason] I hope it identifies with something in your life
that you gonna go, like,
"Well, I'm gonna pick this back up,
or I'm gonna go do that, or I'm gonna do that thing I've always wanted to do."
'Cause there's too many things I wanna do in this life.
And I'm probably not gonna learn them all.
But I sure as hell can celebrate everyone else that does it.
Look at that.
Dream come true.
Every one of these knives...
were made by my friends.
This is from Hawaii.
This is from Texas.
And these are from Texas.
Pretty amazing.
[director] And action!
