Good evening !

For three days, we're having an #arts and #crafts exhibition in the village of Coti-Chiavari in #Corsica.

Today, I've chosen to present the work of Jean Rubini, a cutler who gave a #blacksmithing demonstration.

The old-fashioned way: coal, anvil, and hammer.

In addition to his demonstration, he exhibited his Corsican knives, folding shepherd's knives and some fixed #knives.

The handles are made of goat horn, buck horn, or various Corsican wood species, such as olive, chestnut, or juniper.

Jean isn't ready for #bitcoin yet, but i will keep trying to convince it's not so hard to change !

I hope you enjoy it 😁🙏

I’ve been watching forged in fire for years and this is definitely something I want to learn. Something primal about forging your own weapons/cutlery from scratch, using nothing but hand tools, no machines.

Of course I am pushing 50 and have never attempted anything like this before so I may have to cheat with a power hammer and gas forge.😏

You have to try, find a cutler who forges and ask him for an initiation !

And thank you for your repost 😁🙏
