Possibilities, Chapter Three

What , you may ask, is another possibility for making knives?  Bronze.  Who would want a bronze knife? Would there be collectors or re-enactors who would be interested in weapons and tools that predate designs from the iron age?  To make bronze knives/ axes/ swords I would need to learn to make proper molds and pour molten bronze and then learn to hammer harden the edges so that the tool will take and hold an edge.  The learning curve on all of these things would be both steep and long.  Would the long learning curve and the need for specialized equipment be impediments?  Yes they would, but they would also be fun projects to overcome.  I will have to think hard to come to some conclusion about this conundrum.  I will get back to you later.
