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. In 2016, Master Shin In-young was named by the Gyeonggi Province as an Intangible Cultural Heritage Treasure #60 recognizing his rare, traditional skills and talent and remains the first individual to be awarded this great honor. He teaches widely, in an interest to pass down craft and tradition. Following old-world techniques and traditional minimalistic design, Master Shin creates high-quality, functional pieces that are also durable works of art.
