Mo. I MURRAY, Ky. (AP) Gene Knight threw aside his career with a national clothing chain two years ago and reopened his grandfather's blacksmith shop in Murray. "In this world of high speed, high production, and high prices, I have tried to take a giant step back into the days of craftmanship and handwork when the pride of every man was only as good as the work he turned out," he said. Knight, 38, is the fourth generation blacksmith in his family, working 12 hours a day for six a week.

is a prestige, high class type of work," he said. "I create. Suppose you owned a $1010,000 home and wanted something elaborate for lighting; or decorating. We'd get together, figure out a design ana I'd make it in the shop." Knight keeps records of all such transactions so he won't duplicate any creation. In his spare time, he turns out handmade knives, each hand forged and tempered according to its use.

One of his prized knives is an authentic Bowie for which he turned down a $300 offer. He also takes orders for handmade garden hoes, weed cutters, tobacco knives and onion hoes. Knight became interested in the blacksmith's trade more than 30 years ago when he played in his grandfather's shop. "When I am standing at the forge watching a piece of fine steel turn from dull gray to bright orange, I feel a peace and contentment that's hard to find anywhere else. And then to take that hot steel and hammer it into a new shape, that gives me a great deal of satisfaction," he explains.

Knight doesn't shoe horses. "The doctor won't let me because I have muscle spasms. That's tedious work. You have to stay bent over He nas no regrets about leaving the world of the business executive, "I'm happier now than I've ever been in my life." LAWN-BOY mower that heeps on starting'.
