When we started Uganda's knife forgery about 2 decades ago, I never dreamed I would have to invite people across the world to great knife making experiences!
This is enabled by great partnerships between locals and internationals like the U.S where from exchanges, we have built on traditional indigenous tools to modern equipment, later on expanding. This quickly allows our wonderful visitors across the globe to enjoy this experience as they curiously come questioning how really a knife is made, and being part of each hands-on process, for a moment becoming lost in the world of blacksmiths themselves, suddenly wakeup to magical expressions once their curiosity has been met.
Will you be the one to get lost with us in the magical world of blacksmithing today?
