MIND THAT KNIFE

Day 6 of our Portugal holiday during Easter time.

Our first visit was to a cork 'factory' . This guy and two others like him were giving a clean edge to segments of cork which were piled near them. The knife made a clean straight cut in the cork. It looked very sharp and dangerous.

Many thanks for all your views,, comments and fav's. Very much appreciated.
I'm afraid the cork manufacture is going to go out with the screw tops on bottles now!

That sure is a nasty looking knife! I tend to agree with Maggiemae, as most of our wines come in screw tops now.

Looks like a hazardous occupation.

Oh my, I hope that jacket is thick, I would probably need a face shield too!

Great to see this. I bought a cork handbag as a gift while there. Seems like intense work

Immediately this photo resonated with me! A friend who recently visited Portugal sent me a lovely silver and cork necklace and told me about the cork grown there! You've brought it all to life! Thanks for that, Dione!

Great shot of theman at work. Fav. Cork is o.k. It replace itselfs and it`s a product of nature. I`ve once lived in a house with a floor made of it. It was very nice living on it.

Cool picture.

Wow- that does look tricky- especially since he's cutting towards himself and not away! Good shot!
