The Shin Blacksmith, which is the oldest in Korea, was founded in 1845 and is still run by the 5th generation of the family. Master Shin In-young began apprenticing for Shin Blacksmith at age 13 and became a master at 17. He produces some of the best handmade knives and farming tools in the country.
