Hi All,

 

My daughter has seen Forged in Fire and asked for knife forging classes/ I can find it in Vietnam and Cambodia but not in Thailand

 

Anyone see and heard of it? Decently close to Bangkok

I'd advise her to forget it and take courses in metallurgy. Today's choice of exotic super tool steels is is mind boggling. After more than 30 years of selecting steel for specific  specialized needs, I never quit learning.

There is a city in Thailand known for making Swords. I bought one online from a guy from Lichtenstein.  He lives here and sells them to collectors worldwide. they are the real deal. full Tang hand forged.

Not quite university age yet :)

 

This is for a 12 year old girl who wants to get her hands dirty and I really want to support that. And Daddy too of course

 

You might do better if she gets into grilling and barbecuing.

No fear factor in that. A 12 year old girl who can handle a furnace and forge her own knife, that is coooool.

 

And she really wants to get her hands dirty, isn't that great?

 

Absolutely.  

I found a blademaker in bkk.

Ask him.

I buy knives at the Tank Store in Bkk at Cent. World. from time to time they have blades for sale that are made here.
