Most information available in one source.

Well written. ok illustrations. narration clear but robotic. mass amounts of information not always organized and sometimes sporadic in topics compilation. Need for illustrations a must.

Very easy to follow and beginner friendly

I found this book useful as I am an aspiring blacksmith, who has yet to pick up hammer and tongs. It gave valuable information about the width and breadth of the practice as well as specific numbers to follow and useful imagery. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know a general knowledge of the practice or just someone who is curious.

Not sure about the info...

I just listened to the beginner book part and stopped. I recently started bladesmithing and I can already tell you some of this info is incorrect. In addition to that, I couldn't successfully make a knife from his instructions after already having spent 24 hours in a guided class making a knife. Definitely don't recommend this book.

disappointingly simplistic

very little detail was given. not enough to give you a starting knowledge of how to do any of it on your own.

This book is not accurate

I am a bladesmith. This book is a joke. Really don’t waste your time. I am very disappointed.
