Description

Do you want to practice bladesmithing techniques, without having to sacrifice good steel?
Are you looking for a cheap alternative until you gain a little bit of experience?
Did you just buy scrap steel for cheap, and want to start forging it?
Then read the next line carefully.
Scrap steel is unlike known steel.
You need to know the exact procedure for forging it into a proper blade, so that it doesn’t break, or become a health hazard.
Inside this book you will discover:
- The #1 scrap steel any beginner should start with
- How to guess what steel a leaf spring is made of, and get it right 99% of the time
- The type of cable you should never use while making cable Damascus
- How to make sure your knife scales lie flush against your blade, even if you don’t have a belt sander

But do you need power tools to forge scrap steel?
No. Most of the steels inside this book have forging/stock removal instructions with minimal use of power tools.
And they can also be forged with no power tools.
But to be honest, without them the work would be tedious, trust me.
Learn scrap forging before you decide to make bad steel into a knife, only to have it shatter into pieces the first time you use it.
Forge your scrap into a knife by buying this book now!
