Every knife starts as a bar of steel that isn't anything yet.
Knifemaking Handbook is a complete, single-volume guide to turning raw steel into a finished, working blade — whether you forge it at the anvil or shape it at the grinder. Written for makers working at home or in a small shop, it walks you through both major paths into the craft side by side, so you can choose the one that fits your space and budget, or learn both.

Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Set up a safe, functional home shop on a beginner's budget — ventilation, PPE, and your first real tool list
- Choose the right steel for the job and understand what actually makes a blade hold an edge
- Shape a blade at the grinder (stock removal) or at the forge and anvil (traditional forging) — both methods covered start to finish
- Heat-treat and temper steel correctly, so the finished blade is hard enough to cut and tough enough not to snap
- Build handles, guards, and pommels, and construct a proper sheath to protect the finished knife
- Sharpen and finish like a maker who's done it hundreds of times, and troubleshoot the mistakes every beginner makes

Fifteen chapters carry you from your first pattern sketch to a blade you'd actually trust to use, with a complete glossary of the vocabulary every maker needs and safety guidance built into every stage — because this craft runs on fire, sharp edges, and grinding equipment, and getting it right matters.

Whether your first project is a simple kitchen paring knife or your someday-project is a pattern-welded hunting blade, this book meets you at your bench and stays there, chapter by chapter, until the knife in your hand actually works.
Pick your steel. Open the book. Start at Chapter 1.
