PhoenixForger Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I've finished up a couple of knives, and tomahawks so far. I want to further my education on forging blades. If you would be so kind, could you tell me some of the most useful books you have read on the subject. Quote
Thomas Dean Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Check out the "Book Review" section. Several pages of reviews, well sorta reviews, of some excellent books. Quote
David Einhorn Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I very much like the books by Jim Hrisoulas such as: The Complete Bladesmith: Forging Your Way To Perfection [Hardcover] by Jim Hrisoulas (Author) Quote
etech669 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I must say I'm also a fan of Jim Hrisoulas, 2 more of his books well worth the read The Master Bladesmith - Advanced Studies In Steel The Pattern Welded Blade - Artistry In Iron Cheers. Quote
Justin Carnecchia Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Check your local library. I live in a very small town and was suprised to find five or six books and one dvd on knife making. Quote
ThomasPowers Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 And living in the United States your local public library is probably part of ILL (Inter Library Loan) where you can check out books from a wide range of other libraries---our small town rural library has over 90 other libraries we can access including several university libraries and I can easily check out books I had a 4 year standing order for on Amazon with no hits! It's a great way to pretest books before deciding to buy your own copy! Last time I used it I had to pay $1 per book and got to keep them for 3 weeks. You are paying for your local public library---USE IT! Quote
