A selection of questions I am often asked
Do you run courses in sharpening?
No, I only run a brief sharpening tutorial as part of a bladesmithing course.
Can you sharpen my knives?
Yes, during exxtremely limited windows at this time – usually 1 thursday per month but I hope to expand on this. See sharpening prices and availability
Can I book a bladesmithing course with you?
Absolutely – assuming there are dates available (gift certificates can be arranged on request. see here for courses and prices and here for dates & availability. Subject also to age restrictions (18+)
Can you make a “samurai sword”?
If I make it using “traditional methods” so there would be a high price point for sourcing crucible steel for this along with additional labour costs. Technically yes, but you’ll gasp at the price!
Can you make me an unlawful blade or weapon, like a knuckle duster?
Absolutely not. Not even for export. See here “Banned List”. To do so would risk my livlihood, business and reputation not only as a responsible maker but also a member of the community
Can I visit the workshop to discuss a potential comission from you?
Yes, please EMAIL directly on bookings@glitteringedge.com. Phone calls are fine but this must be followed up with an email to confirm any appointments
Please dont just turn up unannounced as you may be turned away. I do not arrange appointments via social media
Can I visit the workshop just because it would be really cool?
Yes, but this will depend on my schedule at the time
Can I buy something from your online shop?
Yes, please email me with the item(s) you wish to buy along with your shipping address and a copy of your age verification ID. Current stock can be found HERE
Im visiting briefly but want to buy a knife. Can I do this?
Yes, depending on schedule. Current stock can be found HERE
