{"title":"Master Shin’s Anvil – Hand-Forged Korean Knives \u0026 Garden Tools","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Anseong, south of Seoul, one forge has been working since 1845.

Master Shin In-Young apprenticed at 13, became a master at 17 and works in the Anseong forge founded in 1845, known as South Korea’s oldest; his ironwork has gone into restoring Seoul’s Sungnyemun gate. The workshop has used recycled railroad rail for over a century and quenches with water only.

The blade is water-quenched to a hardness of about 57–62, a level the maker chose for a balance of strength and flexibility rather than chasing the hardest possible edge. And every year of use adds to the patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreat it like a cast-iron pan: rinse, dry right away, a drop of oil now and then, and never the dishwasher.

Master Shin In-Young apprenticed at 13, became a master at 17 and works in the Anseong forge founded in 1845, known as South Korea’s oldest; his ironwork has gone into restoring Seoul’s Sungnyemun gate. The workshop has used recycled railroad rail for over a century and quenches with water only. The steel band where blade meets wood, the daenggi, is shaped as an ornament in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe forge marks stay on the steel and the pale wood handle carries nothing but the workshop’s burned-in X, so it looks exactly like what it is. The blade is water-quenched to a hardness of about 57–62, a level the maker chose for a balance of strength and flexibility rather than chasing the hardest possible edge. And every year of use adds to the patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreat it like a cast-iron pan: rinse, dry right away, a drop of oil now and then, and never the dishwasher. Over time the steel darkens into a patina that is unique to your kitchen. A whetstone every couple of years keeps the edge, and a baking-soda paste lifts any rust spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"lm-table\" style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eWorkshop\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaster Shin's Anvil (Anseong, South Korea)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eMade by\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShin In-Young\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#62 Kitchen Knife, Medium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKitchen knife, medium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29.2 cm (11.5 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eBlade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.5 × 5.1 cm (6.5 in long × 2 in wide)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eHandle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.1 cm (4.75 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eSteel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbon steel, one steel from spine to edge (mono-steel)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eTempering\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater-quenched, hardness about 57–62\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eEdge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eHandle wood\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChestnut or oak, shade-dried for years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eMaking\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-forged by Master Shin In-Young\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand wash only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSouth Korea\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eItem no.\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAN-62K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRoughly 30 cm (11.8 in) long, 18 cm (7.1 in) of it blade; being hand-forged, no two are exactly alike.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere It Shines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a wall-mounted magnetic rail or an end-grain board, where people can see it, and in the hands of the person who cooks most in your home.

Master Shin In-Young apprenticed at 13, became a master at 17 and works in the Anseong forge founded in 1845, known as South Korea’s oldest; his ironwork has gone into restoring Seoul’s Sungnyemun gate. The workshop has used recycled railroad rail for over a century and quenches with water only. The steel band where blade meets wood, the daenggi, is shaped as an ornament in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe forge marks stay on the steel and the pale wood handle carries nothing but the workshop’s burned-in X, so it looks exactly like what it is. The blade is water-quenched to a hardness of about 57–62, a level the maker chose for a balance of strength and flexibility rather than chasing the hardest possible edge. And every year of use adds to the patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreat it like a cast-iron pan: rinse, dry right away, a drop of oil now and then, and never the dishwasher.

Master Shin In-Young apprenticed at 13, became a master at 17 and works in the Anseong forge founded in 1845, known as South Korea’s oldest; his ironwork has gone into restoring Seoul’s Sungnyemun gate. The workshop has used recycled railroad rail for over a century and quenches with water only.

The blade is water-quenched to a hardness of about 57–62, a level the maker chose for a balance of strength and flexibility rather than chasing the hardest possible edge. And every year of use adds to the patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreat it like a cast-iron pan: rinse, dry right away, a drop of oil now and then, and never the dishwasher.

Master Shin In-Young apprenticed at 13, became a master at 17 and works in the Anseong forge founded in 1845, known as South Korea’s oldest; his ironwork has gone into restoring Seoul’s Sungnyemun gate. The workshop has used recycled railroad rail for over a century and quenches with water only. The steel band where blade meets wood, the daenggi, is shaped as an ornament in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe forge marks stay on the steel and the pale wood handle carries nothing but the workshop’s burned-in X, so it looks exactly like what it is. The blade is water-quenched to a hardness of about 57–62, a level the maker chose for a balance of strength and flexibility rather than chasing the hardest possible edge. And every year of use adds to the patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreat it like a cast-iron pan: rinse, dry right away, a drop of oil now and then, and never the dishwasher.

Master Shin In-Young apprenticed at 13, became a master at 17 and works in the Anseong forge founded in 1845, known as South Korea’s oldest; his ironwork has gone into restoring Seoul’s Sungnyemun gate. The workshop has used recycled railroad rail for over a century and quenches with water only. The steel band where blade meets wood, the daenggi, is shaped as an ornament in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe forge marks stay on the steel and the pale wood handle carries nothing but the workshop’s burned-in X, so it looks exactly like what it is. The blade is water-quenched to a hardness of about 57–62, a level the maker chose for a balance of strength and flexibility rather than chasing the hardest possible edge. And every year of use adds to the patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTreat it like a cast-iron pan: rinse, dry right away, a drop of oil now and then, and never the dishwasher. Over time the steel darkens into a patina that is unique to your kitchen. A whetstone every couple of years keeps the edge, and a baking-soda paste lifts any rust spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"lm-table\" style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eWorkshop\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaster Shin's Anvil (Anseong, South Korea)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eMade by\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShin In-Young\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#58 Paring Knife, Small\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eParing knife, curved blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.1 cm (7.5 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eBlade\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.0 × 3.2 cm (2.75 in long × 1.25 in wide)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eHandle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.1 cm (4.75 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eSteel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbon steel, one steel from spine to edge (mono-steel)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eTempering\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater-quenched, hardness about 57–62\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eEdge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eHandle wood\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChestnut or oak, shade-dried for years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eMaking\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-forged by Master Shin In-Young\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand wash only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSouth Korea\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width:36%;min-width:8.5em;overflow-wrap:normal;word-break:normal\"\u003eItem no.\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAN-58PK\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRoughly 18.5–19 cm (7.25–7.5 in) long with an 11 cm (4.33 in) handle; being hand-forged, no two are exactly alike.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere It Shines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a wall-mounted magnetic rail or an end-grain board, where people can see it, and in the hands of the person who cooks most in your home.
