Blind Insights - Forging creativity in Knives (Special Guest Karim Haddad)
Knifemaking is a special interest of David's, as a collector of fine handmade knives, he is especially interested in the tactile qualities of a well-made knife. Our guest Karim Haddad heads one of Australia's most creative and constructive workshops, Tharwa Valley Forge. The intricacies and details of the knifemaking world make it one deep hobby to get into and give plenty of options for collectors to admire and spend significant sums of money on. Tharwa Valley is more than just a place to make knives, it is an educational space, and even a therapeutic space for people who find an outlet in creating. As an exploration in craft and artisanship, David and Karim discuss the many aspects of using our hands in the 21st century to learn and flourish.
