Michael Cochran Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 $50 knive shop from Wayne Goddard is a good read. I can't really help beyond there since I rarely buy books. I usually just do my research online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffrat Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Step-by-Step Knife making by David Boye is pretty good. Available at Amazon. For basic forging skills, I recommend Vol 1 of the Skills of a Blacksmith by Mark Aspery (vols 2 & 3 are great too) or The Artist Blacksmith by Peter Parkinson. Have fun!
