Biography
Steel forged the Kandyan way.
The son of a court-sword family, Mahesh learned to forge high-carbon steel from his father and engraving from a master silversmith. He now works with two apprentices on display pieces and commissions, each supplied with export documentation.
The Craft Story
A kastane begins as a bar of steel, heated, folded and hammered into a curved blade, then fitted with a hilt and scabbard that are carved and engraved separately.
