A straightforward step-by-step how-to book on knifemaking, and the perfect companion to How to make Knives by Barney and Loveless. This one manages to be a hair different in that it gets into making and adapting equipment as well as using less of it. The big bonus comes in the chapter on Etching on Steel – everything you need to know for embellishing the blade by etching. What this must do to the school of knifemakers who refuse to so much as stamp a trademark on a blade because of stress risers, etc.! Two opposing camps.
Boye talks about cutting up vegetables, while Barney and Loveless have a curious line about cutting up people. I guess that does get into the history of knives. These two books should keep the budding knifemaker happy for awhile.
