In A Modern Guide to Knifemaking, survivalist Laura Zerra, one of
the stars of Naked and Afraid on the Discovery Channel, shares her
essential knifemaking tips and tricks, including step-by-step
instructions for both forging and stock removal. We all use a knife
pretty much every day, but for Zerra, her daily life often depends
on the blade she takes with her into the wild. She's learned about
what works and what doesn't, what steel will hold an edge, and what
nuances in blade design will make or break a knife. From design to
sharpening, A Modern Guide to Knifemaking covers every step in the
knifemaking process. To begin, you will consider what you want your
knife to accomplish, develop a design, and make a prototype. Zerra
takes you through choosing and buying steel for your knife and then
teaches you to build your own forge. You will learn forging basics
and then move on to forge the shape of your knife and make the
blade tip. From there, you will cut the blade profile, grind in
bevels to make the edge of the knife, heat treat and temper your
blade, grind and polish it, and make a handle and sheath for it.
You will also learn sharpening techniques to maintain the edge of
your new knife. Throughout, Zerra has included Pro-Tips from some
of the leading knifemakers working today including Ken Onion, Kaila
Cumings, and Mike Jones. A Modern Guide to Knifemaking covers every
detail of knifemaking so you can make yourself the perfect knife.
