Knifemaking has always been an immensely popular hobby in the USA, even before the TV series "Forged in Fire" increased its popularity exponentially. But how does one begin this hobby without taking a course? Paul White's highly praised book, FORGED, is an answer. "This book is a must read for up-and-coming knifemakers." - Lee Crawford, Professional knifemaker and winner of the Naval competition in TV's "Forged in Fire" in the tournament of the Military Branches..This book will teach you to hand build a knife using the traditional method of blacksmiths of old -- FORGING. Traditional forging of a knife blade is a process which uses the ancient techniques of moving hot steel with hammer and anvil alone into a knife-form that is ready for filing, heat treating and sharpening with no or very minimal electric grinding.This book also teaches traditional fit-and-finish skills using only hand tools. It explains an ancient riveted full-tang handle construction system that surpasses modern methods. In the author's words; "In my early blacksmithing years, I was lucky to get to know some old smiths who wrangled hot iron every day just to make a living. They unselfishly taught me traditional blacksmithing skills and knife forging methods. Every time I use those skills and methods, I honor their friendships, and by teaching you, the reader, we keep alive the memory of those old-time iro- pounders."--Paul White
