Knife Making Book Review: 'Forged' by Paul White

"Forged: Making a Knife with Traditional Blacksmith Skills," a book about how to forge a frontier knife by blacksmith Paul White -- reviewed by knife maker Walter Sorrells. This excellent book serves as a great introduction to forging knives. Will be of particular interest to folks who enjoy historical and outdoor hard use knives.

Book recommendation for the maker or collector. The world of art knives by David Darom. A 4 part series of books about the most amazing knives in the world from a knife photographer. Down side is the books are hard to find and expensive but worth every penny you pay.

I absolutely love books. If the words aren't on paper, I don't want to look at them. Bonus points for hardback.

Hey Walter! Do you have any books out? A great idea for you would be offer knifemakers classes in person! I once took a class in photography where the author taught the class. It was the best class ever, he often said don't take notes, pay attention to me, it's all in the book. What type of work did you do before knifemaking?

Great review. Since you said this may not be a great first book, can you recommend other books for beginners to read before purchasing this one?

[williamemerson]
