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. It is made to be used hard, in real soil, for decades. And every year of use adds to the patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnock the soil off, dry it, wipe on a little oil and hang it in a dry shed.
