Dirk Burmester and Stefan Steigerwald show you in this workshop volume how to build a fixed-blade knife yourself. It starts with the design on paper and leads through filing a blade, assembling, and refining the handle to the finished knife. You will learn how to create two different types of fixed-blade knives: flat tang knives and full tang knives. A complete knife will be built from A to Z based on each construction principle. No prior knowledge or extensive workshop equipment is required to replicate the process. A few simple tools are completely sufficient. Each step is explained in an easily understandable manner with words and images. This volume is therefore ideal for beginners in the hobby of knife making.
