Friday night forge session. Two blades drawn out, one elbow surviving. The file steel is moving like butter tonight — century-old carbon has moods and tonight it's generous.

I was a metallurgical engineer for eleven years. Now I do the same chemistry with fire I can see.
Every knife ships with its hardness test results and the story of the steel it used to be. People cook differently with a knife that used to be a sawmill blade.
Bladesmith. I forge kitchen knives from reclaimed high-carbon steel — old files, leaf springs, sawmill blades. Handles from local walnut and bog oak.
