Will I Vike It‪?‬ Saxon Forager

I'm taking a little break from the podcast, so in place of the usual episode is an episode from my other podcast - Wyrd Wessex
Recorded at Butser Ancient Farms Beltane event on May 4th 2024
Me and my co-host Andy Stevens spoke to multiple guests throughout this episode, including Earth to rebirth who were holding hand fastings at the event, historical music group Here be Flagons, and Damh the bard. Andy also spent the night in a haunted villa! Oh and Craig said goodbye to his Shih Tzu in the most epic way - a giant burning wicker man.
Will I Vike It? Will be back soon. If you miss it - head to my Patreon to get early access to the next episode.

On this Episode I catch up with Thomas Beynon Timbrell from Heritage Blades (formally Big Beynons Blacksmithing). Tom was the first guest ever on Will I Vike It? and we discuss recreating historical knives based on the evidence, and the complications with sticking to the originals.
Tom also answered the bonus questions I ask every guest, as some of these didn't exist when the show started.
