Thailand's Knife Cutting Competition

[OldBlockBlades]

Thailand's Finest Knife Maker's gather 3 times every year to showcase their blades in open competitive fellowship. Some serious knife builds coming out of Thailand.

I've been travelling throughout Thailand for the past year, meeting blacksmiths and seeing their works of art. They really admire and try to learn from all the knife maker's around the world. Very proud of the blades they've been making.

Beautiful country.

What kind of steel are they using?

Wow, impressive chopping. I like that it's not just some lame rope chop.

The design of the spines are interesting.

An ancient country with a definite knife/sword culture.
It's wonderful to note that such activities exist today!
