From her vast experience in the wild, Zerra has learned about what works and what doesn’t, what steel will hold an edge, and what nuances in blade design will make or break a knife. In this concise and affordable edition of A Modern Guide to Knifemaking, she shares essential knifemaking tips and tricks, including detailed instructions for both forging and stock removal.

Making a Handle and Sheath – Create a handle and sheath for your new knife.
