About the Book

If you want to make knives with simple tools, then keep reading...

Do you feel that reliable sources of bladesmithing information are expensive and scarce?

Do you want to start without breaking the bank with expensive machinery?

Have you come across the perfect piece of scrap steel, but dont know how to turn it into a knife?

Are you always getting your knife shattered or warped, every time you attempt to heat treat it?

Are small imperfections in your knives frustrating you?

I, the author, also faced such problems.

That's why I compiled this book, to help a beginner get started in all basic aspects of knife making.

Note: This book has 3 manuscripts

Book 1: Bladesmithing for Beginners: Make Your First Knife in 7 Steps

Book 2: Bladesmithing from Scrap Metal: How to Make Knives With Leaf Springs, Saw Blades, Railroad Spikes, and Files

Book 3: Heat Treatment Secrets for Bladesmithing

Inside this book you will discover:

  • The most cost-effective method to make your first knife
  • The only 4 tools you need to make your first knife
  • How to set up a good workshop, without breaking the bank with expensive machinery
  • The #1 high-performance steel you should use to make knives
  • How to get a satin finish on your knife, without using power tools
  • How to heat treat 1095 steel, without risking it to warp or shatter
  • 1 simple test that will determine the sharpness of your knife
  • How to get good grind lines, without using a grinding jig
  • How to repair knife warps after heat treatment
  • A simple technique, used by master bladesmiths, that will prevent your blade from shattering, even if it's your first time making a knife
  • The #1 scrap steel any beginner should start with
  • How to make sure your knife scales lie flush against your blade, even if you don't have a belt sander
  • The best way to reduce the size of a leaf spring that is too big, even if you dont have a power hammer
  • One simple test that will ensure that your scrap steel is worthy of being made into a knife
  • 1 crucial heat treatment step, without which your whole heat treatment process is futile
  • 1 quenching tip that will get you a harder knife fast
  • One easy-to-find quenching oil, that is not only effective, but also reduces the chances of your knife cracking
  • The biggest heat treating mistake you could be making, that is ruining the quality of your blades

You will also receive not one but two free bonuses:

  • How to make a simple forge, so you can start heat treatment even in your backyard or a small worshop
  • How to make an anvil from a railroad track

Do I need to have tools before I read this book?

Only the bare minimum are required. The rest you can make or acquire along your journey. The book even has a step-by-step guide to making your own forge, so you don't need to start out with one.

Every day that you delay is another day you deny your desire to make knives.
