00:17In the hands of modern craftsmen, history comes alive.
00:21I am in Uzbekistan's Namangan region in the Ferugana Valley to explore local traditions of knife-making and ceramics.
00:31I hope to learn from the masters and maybe I will uncover some secrets.
00:40My journey starts in the city of Chust.
00:43Here, since ancient times, knife-makers known as Suzangaras have created exquisitely beautiful knives or pichoks, renowned far beyond the region.
00:55I am here to meet Rahim John Ubaidulaif, who represents a dynasty of Suzangaras.

01:24Traditional methods of hardening involve heating and cooling the blade multiple times.
01:31Historically, the Uzbek pichok has been a symbol of status, often associated with local traditions and ceremonies.
01:58Creating a handle is an art in itself.

04:11The artist's choice while painting is rooted in tradition.
04:15It tells the story of Rishtan and the region where each symbol carries meaning.
