As you have certainly guessed, I am not a full-time professional cutler. My main work is in electronics
and project management.
I practise blacksmithing and cutlery when I have spare time. Or rather, I try to free spare
time for blacksmithing ...
My legal and administrative status henceforth allows me to sell knives.
I progress slowly but surely by varying my experiments and I improve my knowledge by reading
and on the Web.
My other centers of interest are strategy games (and more particularly Go), bow shooting
(Long bow), sport (running and swimming)...
To contact me
If you wish, you can send me an E-mail at
coustil@free.fr for:
- Your remarks (constructive of course  ),
including those about grammar or orthography, typing errors.
- Ideas of improvement or subjects which would appear welcome
to you.
- To communicate me new sources of information (books, journals, Web sites).
- To propose me to include here a link to your site.
- To report a dead link.
- And to finish, if you have any questions, do not hesitate!
I will see whether I can find some time to answer it.
Research
There are some particular subjects on which I am looking for
information:
> Artisanal metallurgy (Iron smelters, Iron ore, direct
reduction, refining).
> Applied metallurgy (Heat treating, retained austenite reduction).
> "Piedmontese" folding knifes.
> Home made tools.
