Phuc Sen Village is located 30km from Cao Bang City, Cao Bang Province. The village is filled with the sounds of workers beating and hammering steel as they forge knives using traditional techniques and recycled materials.
Currently, 160 workshops are in operation, offering stable jobs for over 300 local labourers.
What makes Phuc Sen knives special is the manual forging process. However, some steps done manually previously are now assisted with machineries. (Photo: Minh Quyet/VNA)
