On the way to dinner, we walked down a street of blacksmiths.
Much to our guide's shock, we bought three thick steel forks. They're sharp, heavy, as much weapons as utensils and are traditionally used to break ice. After we bargained the guy on the left down to about $18 for three, we walked away. He came after us, offering to clean them up for us. For another $1.20, he and his friend (on the right, working on the forks) shined and honed all three, and we bought them. Everyone walked away happy.
