 Complete Bladesmith-Forging your way to perfection October 17, 2007
As a beginner this was the book I was looking for, the title says it all "The Complete Bladesmith". Very comprehensive and informative.
A good read September 5, 2007
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.
Complete Bladesmith: Forging Your Way To Perfection March 9, 2007
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!
 Good but dated information. November 10, 2006

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.
Certainly worth owning, just BEWARE the dated information!
Helpfull and perfect ! October 25, 2006
When i received this book i see much more detais, and contents that i have expected. Details about the forge to the finishing of a sword. I'm a new blacksmith in pratice but i recomend this book to anyone who want to progress in the art of bladesmith !
