Basic Knife Making: From Raw Steel to a Finished Stub Tang Knife

Basic Knife Making: From Raw Steel to a Finished Stub Tang Knife

In this book, Ernst G. Siebeneicher-Hellwig and Jurgen Rosinski show the simplest and least expensive ways to construct a basic forge, make all necessary tools yourself, forge a stub tang blade from an old automobile coil spring, and complete a full knife. The practical guide covers the key theoretical basics while demonstrating how accessible bladesmithing can be, with each step presented in text and pictures and a special focus on forging the blade. Clear lists of tools and materials help guide the process, and practical tips, explanations of terms, and sketches round out the volume.

Written by Ernst G. Siebeneicher-Hellwig, author of several books on knifemaking, together with Jurgen Rosinski, a blacksmith and former vocational schoolteacher who teaches knifemaking to both beginning and advanced students.
