Subtitled "An Introduction to the Working of Modern Tool Steels," this book covers much more than that, it's really a complete introduction to the practical construction of hand-forged knives. Over 160 photos accompany the well-written text, instructing the reader on every step of the process. Included is an introduction to steels, forging, annealing, hardening and tempering; a detailed study of various steels; the blacksmith shop- tools and equipment used; forging operations- how to do it; and finishing the knife- handles, sharpening, sheath making, etc.
Softcover, 136 pp.
