Knives in Ho Chi Minh

Hello !

I'm going to Ho Chi Minh in a few days and I'd like to meet a blacksmith who knows knife making. I have a few ideas I'd like him to make.
The thing is I have no idea where to find a blacksmith who can make a knife.
Is there a specific district or a street where we can find them ?
Is there a street with kitchenware stores ? I could ask them once there...

A cutlery might be good too.

If somebody could help me that would be nice :D

Thank you !

Cho Lon is where you go, on Tran Hung Dao.

It will take a day or two to get you the precise address.

Thank you very much Jaitch ! :D

When you start on obtaining custom products you have to let your fingers do the hunting. It can take time since search engines aren't the greatest.

Tu Bon Blacksmith

Ba Diem Commune
Hoc Mon District, TP HCM

You will need someone to talk to this contact in Vietnamese. You will need to also know where this is: < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoc_Mon_District > GPS:   10°52'39"N   106°35'38"E

Diadiem.com maps is still down so the knife man will have to wait until tomorrow. I will be in Cho Lon on Wednesday and will stop in to talk to the guys.

Please PM and give me an idea of what you are looking at.

I know where you can get 203 Stainless (hardest) bar from, argon welded and the perhaps the knife man can realise your dream.

Hello do you know if he could make Bali-song knives (butterfly knives) for example if he could copy a bench-made 42.
And if so, how much can he do them for?
I would really appreciate it if you could help me!
Thanks!
