Knife making
January 25 in Laos ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
A master knife maker guided us through the process of heating, forging, cooling and finishing handmade knives. Our knives were made of car suspension; others are made from found metal like bomb shells.

We loved getting to pound the metal into shape. Sadly, many of the other tasks were just a light touch by us learners, with most of the work done by the knife making team. Still, pretty cool!Read more
