5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent first book to explore knifemaking
As someone who has never made a knife from scratch before I was looking for an introductory book that would explain and show the processes to me. This was my ideal book. Whilst it doesn't go into depth (temperatures for hardening, viscosity of oil etc) it points out where you can further explore that particular subject (and which, with the internet it's so easy to do). He gives 10 varied examples of handmade knives, all differently made and styled and takes you by the hand in making each one. All in all an excellent primer for someone like myself who didn't know what micarta was before reading it. The only thing I would change would be to have the illustrations in colour and then I would call it a basic bible but I can understand why it isn't, the colour plate cost would quadruple the price !
5.0 out of 5 stars Don't be scared
Good range of projects. This could be a little scary if you're not used to metal work, but don't be afraid. The designs range from the very simple through to a little more advanced. illustrations throughout the book feature award winning designs that are based on many of the projects, but taken to a point several levels above.The instructions are step by step and many use very basic tools, so the amateur can be away in no time. A great introduction.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good reading
A good guide to read
Great
The information in this book is an excellent starting resource for anyone, want to start making a knife. there are ten projects in the book which combined cover all aspects of different styles of knives, and the techniques used to make them. There are tables regarding different steels and also how to make them.Clear diagrams and easy to understand. definatley recommended .Bought this for a friend, and was reluctant to give it to him, i did give to him in the end and i will purchase another for myself
Petit abc de coutellerie
Belles illustrations, de très bons commentaires. Ouvrage à mettre entre les mains des amateurs comme des confirmés. Seul bémol: il faut un dictionnaire spécifique à côté... .

Great book
Love this book.
Great, great, great book. Tim walks you through making 10 different knives. I've made the first two and am doing a second build of the second one. There are some points that might do with a bit more explanation, but in general it worked very well for me. I supplemented the reading with lots of Youtube watching to see stuff in action. Can't say enough about this book. Perfect for a beginner, as long as you can figure out some of the tiny details yourself.
Great Book
Great book with lots of in depth projects and details in what to expect.
