Description
Making Full Tang Knives for Beginners: Step-by-Step Manual from Design to the Finished Knife
From drawing the initial sketches of a design to etching your initials into the handle, this book expertly demonstrates how to build a fixed blade, full tang knife with detailed, step by step instructions and illustrations. Full tang knives are robust and relatively easy to create, making this form an ideal choice for the beginning knifemaker. No previous knifemaking knowledge is necessary, and the list of required tools is short: files, sandpaper, a drill, and elbow grease. All knives shown are variants of the same basic construction, but the book covers many different styles of bolsters and handles, plus advice on selecting the right steel for a particular blade's components. Having a small, handy knife at your side, designed and made by your own hands, brings a satisfaction no store bought, mass produced pocket knife can match.
