Crafting a Blade

Yesterday I experienced the lost art of forging, cutting and crafting steel. Knife-making

This is my knife after the 1 day course with Bruce from Lost Arts Knife Making in Clevedon - featuring a collection of shapes made by the other attendees; hunters & chefs.

The handle is carved from Rimu, and the sharpened carbon steel blade is made that with good care it can be passed down to future generations.

Thanks to my darling Tamsin Kaufman for the gift that will keep on giving through our kai
