  • KINMEN, TAIWAN is supposedly home to a master blacksmith who turns bombs into beautiful kitchen knives. I decided to go see if it was true.

    Kinmen, alternatively known as Quemoy, is a group of islands governed as a county by the Republic of China (Taiwan), off the southeastern coast of the People's Republic of China. It lies roughly 10 km (6.2 mi) east of the city of Xiamen in Fujian, from which it is separated by Xiamen Bay. Kinmen is located 187 km (116 mi) west from the shoreline of the island of Taiwan across the Taiwan Strait.
    The county consists of the major island of Kinmen along with several surrounding islets, as well as Wuqiu Township remotely located 133 km (83 mi) northeast from the rest of the county.[4] Kinmen is one of two counties that constitutes Fujian Province, the other being Lienchiang County (Matsu).
    Kinmen's strategic location in the Taiwan Strait has led to numerous confrontations, making it a tangible embodiment of political change on Cross-Strait relations. In August 1958, Kinmen was heavily bombarded by the People's Liberation Army during the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis. Travel restrictions between Kinmen and the main island of Taiwan were lifted in 1994 following the end of decades-long military administration over Kinmen. A direct ferry route to Xiamen was inaugurated in January 2001 following the establishment of the Three Links.[5]
    The People's Republic of China (PRC, China) claims Kinmen as part of its own Fujian Province and considers Wuqiu to be a separate territory of Fujian apart from Kinmen itself; conversely, the ROC claims the Dadeng Islands (Tateng) as part of Kinmen, even though the PRC has effectively transferred the jurisdiction of those islands to Xiamen.

    Wow, 500,000 shells. No shortage of raw material for the maestro. How long does it take from cutting the shell to a finished knife? Great story.

    You seriously need millions of views . Buy some ads or something this was fucking brilliant. I rarely ever comment on videos but you absolutely deserve it
    I also appreciate how respectful you are. Many white male travel CZcamsrs have this mindset of “look at me discovering something “ and “wow everyone is so nice to me I wonder why” type of content. But yours is truly refreshing ❤ thank you for telling his story

    Incredible history. The storytelling about MAESTRO WU was fantastic. Talk about resilience and sustainability! Works of War into Works of Art is truly special. Are there more examples of that in Kinman or Taiwan?

    • @thebuccilist
      @thebuccilist  Před rokem +2

      Thank you!! I believe there is one other knife maker who does a similar thing, but Kinmen is known for a variety of products such as Kaoliang liquor.
