Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Complete Bladesmith-Forging your way to perfection
As a beginner this was the book I was looking for, the title says it all "The Complete Bladesmith". Very comprehensive and informative.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A good read
So far I have found this book to be very straightforward, easy to understand, and quite helpful. Not only do I find it informative, but I enjoy reading it too.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Complete Bladesmith: Forging Your Way To Perfection
This book is about how to make knives by different materials, for example 1050 steel. It's a quite good book, especially for beginners with reasonable price. Highly recommended to all!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good but dated information.
A great book for the beginner, but not to be taken as a metallurgical point of reference. Antiquated theories such as 'edge-packing' and other misconceptions are taught in this text. This is not a problem, assuming the reader does enough research - either before or after reading this book. It offers great explanations of techniques, complete with well-explained drawings, diagrams and pictures, as well as plenty of good information on intelligent shop layout, tool selection, etc.
