Folding knives and other cutting utensils in Taramundi (Asturias). Qurator's Photo Quest | Tools

Hi friends,

After several weeks without participating in the Qurator`s Photo Quest I have decided to take part in this interesting photographic challenge that this time is about tools. For those who read this post and are interested in participating you can read the contest rules in the following link.

For my participation in the photographic challenge on tools, I have decided to participate with a giant knife that is exposed in the museum of the cutlery of Taramundi (Asturias). The folding knives are tools widely used in various trades, such as by shepherds and farmers to cut ropes, cables or even peel an apple or orange in the field.

Apart from this great giant knife, in the museum of cutlery you can access a current workshop where you can see the different tools used for the manufacture of folding knives and knives, both handles and blades.

Another point of the museum that is also very interesting is the exhibition area of knives, scissors and folding knives from the distinctive artisan families that have been making these tools for many decades in this Asturian town.

However, the highlight of the museum is to see live the making of a knife in real time in a forge equipped with the tools used in the traditional way.

I hope you like my participation in this week's Qurator's Photo Quest.

Kind regards.
