H'Mong ethnic people are known for their meticulousness, patience and diligence, which inspire intricate craft trades such as: blacksmithing, fabric weaving, paper-making, incense-making or basket weaving. Among these trades, blacksmithing is an ancient craft that is crucial to H'Mong people's production activities. Despite the popularity of modern tools flooding the market at lower prices, H'mong knives made by local blacksmiths remain highly valued for their durability and quality. Like blacksmiths elsewhere, the H'Mong ethnic people prioritize using steel from car springs due to its elasticity and durability. The choice of material is crucial, as it directly influences the final quality of the product. Improper handling can lead to knives that easily break or chip. Additionally, skilled craftsmen must master the nuances of coal, fire, and the surrounding environment to make a durable, sharp knife. In addition to knives, blacksmiths also make agricultural tools like shovel, rake, sickle or hoe.Source: V ietnam News Agency
