 Worth more than $50 |
| Review Date: September 16, 2004 |
| Reviewer: T. Smith, Bandera, TX USA |
| I was hesitant on ordering this book, I've read or bought almost everything I can find relating to bladesmithing or blacksmithing. I got the book, and read it from front to back, then read it again. This book not only offers insight on how to make needed equipment, but also explains how to make knives of both stock removal, forging and wire damascus. I've never read a book on this subject where it felt like the author was talking directly to me, explaining things that I was thinking. This book is definitely one for the beginner smith. |
Great book

| I got this book last night and have read it cover to cover. Wayne gives great confidence to the beginner. Just the simple fact that you don't have to go broke to make knives is very fullfilling. Some great shop tips and good ways of looking at shop problems. Buy this book and David Boye's book, and you are well on your way. |
Hubby's Favorite Book

| Review Date: March 15, 2007 |
| Reviewer: S. Poynter, |
| Even though he has not been able to buy an anvil yet, hubby has re-crafted several knives using the methods described in this book. It is only a few months old, but is already very worn and tattered. When ever he gets quite (no metal grinding or scraping noises), I know he has sat back down with his book for more inspiration or a bit of clarification. |

Practical, infomative advice for beginning bladesmiths
|
| Review Date: March 5, 2001 |
| Reviewer: Andrew Limsk, Kuala Lumpur, MY |
| Wayne Goddard's name would be instantly recognized by knife collectors as one of the premier voices in bladesmithing. A long-time contributor to Blade magazine, Goddard has compiled the best of decades of forging experience to start the beginning bladesmith off. Lots of masterful, practical advice, money-saving tips and knifemaking shortcuts, told in easy to understand language, refreshingly free of knife jargon that clutters so many other books on blademaking. There are plenty of handy hints on sourcing for steel and handle materials, building a homemade forge and equiping a basic workshop. For people who have always had the yearning to hammer steel and coke coal, but didn't have the means to build a fully equipped shop, this book is for you. |
