The book that gets it done. This is not a good book, it is a great book. I have been making knives for several years and have purchased different books over that time as points of reference. I’ve learned different valuable things from each of the different books.
Good intro into starting a knife shop. I have been wanting to try my hand at making knives for a long time and did not know where to really start. I have read all sorts of forums and websites but they all say pretty much the same thing, and involves buying a lot of expensive equipment to start with. That’s not something I was looking to do. I saw this book on many sites as recommended reading and decided to buy it and read over it.
Useful Information, Severely Dated I took a knifesmithing class and was suggested to buy this book as a way to continue my studies and to get started with blacksmithing. I ordered it and began reading through it.
