There is an English proverb saying No Gun But The Man Behind The Gun, that proverb I got from my father and I will remember my whole life, the meaning of this proverb is very broad and everyone has his own view on this proverb but for now I will not talking about the proverb but something real from the proverb.
This time I will write about The Blacksmith from my hometown and this is proverb for him in this time. He has been twenty years already in this profession, as I remind since my elementary school he has do that and he did very confidently, I ask him for a while and he says he has been a blacksmith since 1990 and that means before I was born.
Being a blacksmith is a thing that can’t be rejected because his family has been doing it since time immemorial and it is his responsibility to do something that has been done for all the time by his family. The tools are in use is also still quite traditional, I really enjoy the process of chopping knife to complete. Hopefully you also can enjoy what I will write in this time.

Although his home is near to me but this is the first time I see the process of making a chopping knife up to 100%, it turns out in a product that we use there is a lot of sweat there.
