Synopsis
A knife looks simple. Engineering one that performs under real use, survives independent testing, and holds up to production tolerances is a different discipline entirely — and most books on the subject only teach half of it.
Knife Engineering Handbook is a complete technical reference for bladesmiths, custom makers, and manufacturers who want to design, build, and verify knives with the same rigor applied to any other engineered product. Inside, you'll learn how to:- Select and evaluate steel — from carbon steel families to powder metallurgy and Damascus construction — based on real performance trade-offs, not marketing claims
- Apply sound blade geometry, from grind type and distal taper to point mechanics and ergonomic handle design, so a knife cuts well, lasts, and feels right in the hand
- Execute fabrication with confidence, covering forging, stock removal, heat treatment, coatings, and finish work
- Design and troubleshoot folding mechanisms, including washer and bearing pivots and liner, frame, and lockback locks, along with their common failure modes
- Verify your work against ASTM, ISO, and CATRA testing standards instead of relying on assumption
- Navigate the regulatory, business, and production realities of running a custom shop or scaling toward manufacturing
Whether you're forging your first blade or refining a production line, Knife Engineering Handbook gives you the technical grounding to build knives with genuine understanding instead of inherited habit.
