Farmers Market 2 Cape Cod Beer
Ivan and Tom man the table at out second Farmers Market at Cape Cod Beer.
A day at the forge.
The weather was nice today and we had some time so we lit the forge to heat treat some blades and to anneal (soften) some old files so we can turn them into knives.
In these pictures we are drawing out the tang of a Damascus Viking knife for a friend of ours. The tang will come out the end of a elk antler and be bent into a small lanyard hook.
T. F. Woodcraft
Cape Cod Cutlery is pleased to announce a new partnership with T. F. Woodcraft. This local business based out of Rochester, MA produced high quality beautiful woodwork utilizing repurposed wood remnants from manufacturing.
While T. F. Woodcraft creates many different products, the natural pairing for us at Cape Cod Cutlery are their stunning cutting boards and wooden kitchen utensils. Look for these products at our table at the next Cape Cod Beer Farmer’s Market.
Did you know…?
Did you know that many of our knives are made from old, repurposed files? The metal in files happens to be very high quality high carbon steel. We shape them and forge them and give them a new life. Sometimes leaving the filemarks on the face of the blade can add an interesting aesthetic dimension.
Most of these old files are close to a hundred years old or more and are sitting around in basements and garages and farmhouses. Have an old file laying around the house and want a custom built knife from a tool that may have been used by your grandparents? We can give it a new purpose.
About 95% of the wood we use in our knife handles is small wood off-cuts from Southeastern New England woodworkers that would otherwise be burned or tossed out as scrap. We have developed relationships with several professional woodworkers to pick up their scrap pieces on a regular basis.
