Amboy Territorial Days Celebration
21400 NE 399th St., Amboy, WA
Our Blacksmith booth will be open for orders, purchases, and conversation - surrounded of course by lovely, sharp, useful tools and knives hand-forged and crafted from high-carbon steel and hardwoods.
There will be logging competitions, souped-up tractor-mower races, and our personal favorite: children throwing axes! Come for a day of fun, food, beer, knives and chainsaws.
Crafting “Joy”
Sometimes you build a knife just for yourself. Maybe it’s an every day carry, a kitchen or utility blade, or meant for a special purpose… or just because you have a deep desire to make it and see what it becomes.
This one is mine and I call it “Joy.”
Caring for Your New Carbon Steel Tool
Carbon steel knives have a history going back centuries. With a bit of regular care, they will last decades and perhaps even generations. Maintaining carbon steel knives isn’t as intimidating as it sounds and the kind of care needed will benefit your other blades as well.
