Full day class with an inspiring man. He’s 68 and picking up a new hobby. I ran him through the ropes and directed him through the steps of forging a long chefs knife. He was incredibly teachable and responded well to the large amount of information thrown at him in one session. I can only hope that when I am 68 that I can still be as receptive to new information and ideas as he was. . In the end he had a beautiful hand forged 1095 and I learned that you can teach an old dog new tricks so long as we are open to the old Biblical addage, “As iron sharpens iron, so do we sharpen each other.” . #thepxsmith #joshaweston #forgedinfire #knifeordeath #knifemaking #knifenut #ironsharpensiron #learning #newskills #forging #forgingisfun #blacksmith .
