He makes high quality cutlery all by hand.Talking to him he went on and on about the benefits of charcoal forging over coal and charcoal being far superior my eyes started to glaze over when he got onto welding and purities etc.He's a nice guy, but bloody intense.Seems likely that he'd be a good bloke to talk to about the best kind of charcoal to be using then!?!?
