Hello!
Again I’ve built some small things to bring life into the medieval town.
This time it’s a basket maker, a knife grinder and a broom maker (what’s the
right name?):
|
Broom maker is the right name so far as I know - it’s the other two I’d
question. Weaver, or perhaps just basket merchant if he didn’t make them
himself. Door to door knife sharpening survived to at least when I was a kid
(do they still do that?). Don’t know of a proper name beyond “knife
sharpener”.

Yes, they do still do door-to-door knife sharpening (well, it’s not strictly
door-to-door, it’s more housecall). I saw it on an episode of Good Eats a while
ago. This guy pulls up to your house with a van full of sharpening gear and
goes hog-wild on your blade. Neat!
