Knife Making: Beginner + Intermediate + Advanced Guide to Bladesmithing: 3-in-1 Knife Making Bundle (Your First Year of Knifemaking) Kindle Edition

Wes Sander Knife Making books are great, easy to read understand and follow. I recommend for Beginers Novice and experienced makers.

Great book, I very much enjoyed it. Does a great job breaking down the topics.

I bought the kindle version for $4.99 and it is well worth it. Yes, there are some grammatical errors, but editing is expensive and most writers make under $15k a year, many less than $5k. Yes, pictures are helpful. That said, there is a lot of great stuff in these pages and combine it with some Youtube videos and you'll do just fine. I do wish the website worked better though. Had comprehensive photos been included I'd have given it 5 stars.

Great for teaching bladesmithing techniques. I recommend, well explained.

Great information, but the embedded links to resources does not work.

This book covers all the major area of knife making

Still reading it

KNIFE MAKING COMPENDIUM? More like vague overview.1) There was no proofreading done on this book. The spelling and grammatical errors are non-stop. On numerous occasions the text was so incoherent that I had to re-read several times before I THINK I knew what was trying to be conveyed.2) There is not one picture in 225 pages to help illustrate points the author is trying to make.3) Material is redundant and painfully vague. Step by step instructions mean 1 think of a knife 2 design the knife 3 make the knife...I learned more about knife making from my first episode of Forged in Fire!4) Author seems pretty impressed with himself - quote from section 2 'there are now numerous excellent books on the subject of bladesmithing and knife making, with this book being one of the very best out there!' I DON'T THINK SO!!There ARE numerous excellent books out there......THIS ONE IS NOT ONE OF THEM!!!

Very informative and easy to follow step by step instructions!

Very informative thanks

Joguei meu dinheiro fora. O livro é muito ruim. Péssimas explicações, bem rasas, sem ilustrações. Não serve nem pra quem já conhece do assunto, pois é absurdamente genérico. Busque no Youtube vídeos sobre o assunto, que são bem mais esclarecedores.

It's a scam, nothing interesting to avoid absolutelyC est une escroquerie , rien d intéressant a éviter absolument

I purchased this book bundle an hour ago, and as soon as I finish writing this review I'm going to ask Amazon for a refund. I haven't finished reading the second book. Yes, the books are cheap, but what I read was so bad, they shouldn't be sold at any price.I feel cheated for wasting my time trying to read them. They are very poorly written and the content is insulting to anyone who wants to learn something about knife making. The grammatical errors in these book are so numerous, and make it so difficult to read, I suspect they were not proof read by anyone other than the author. The content is so basic it is insulting. I suspect the author has very little or no experience of making knives. That would also explain the complete lack of photographs.Here are a few gems:"Being one with the steel: You should not fear the heat and the prospect of getting cut. It is natural for a bladesmith to be burned or cut while making knives. You simply cannot be afraid.""An excellent knife-making steel is the 1/8-inch-thick carbon steel (01). It is a good choice for producing blades because it is easy for drenching."Drenching? Does the author mean quenching?The following passage is from Chapter Two of the second book, which is optimistically titled "Comprehensive Guide to Sword Making":"Step 3: Finding the SteelThis is a crucial aspect. The steel used for a sword is really important. The use of high-carbon steels is strongly recommended. Few steels can be hardened. Unless you only plan on having the piece as a beautification, you need to choose a decent piece of steel.You can determine what sort of steel it is, depending on the sparkles produced. High-carbon steel will produce sparkle that splits off into a few branches.If you don’t have a forge, then you need to make one. If not, get a piece of steel that is almost the same size as the sword and move past the forging process."There you have it! Everything you wanted to know about steel selection for sword making! And no forge required!
