Hi,
has anyone read the books "Knifemaking: A Complete Guide to Crafting Knives, Handles & Sheaths" by Bo Bergman or "Step-By-Step Knifemaking: You Can Do It!" or "The Artist Blacksmith: Design and Techniques" by Peter Hubert Parkin? (all three found at
I'm a complete beginner and would like to know if these books can help me to gain the necessary knowledge to craft knifes and later maybe larger blades.
greets, Thomas
