Build a real blade with your own two hands.

If you've ever dreamed of making your own axe or knife from fire and steel but didn't know where to start, this book is for you.

Many beginners get stuck. They don't know which tools to use. They mess up their first try. They waste time doing things in the wrong order. This book fixes that. It gives you the steps, the know-how, and the confidence to get started the right way.

You'll learn how to turn raw metal into working cutting tools using fire, basic hand tools, and your own skill.

Inside, you'll build projects like:

  • A simple bushcraft knife
  • A full-length outdoor axe
  • A wide-blade chopper
  • A basic adze
  • A simple sheath to hold your blade

You'll learn how to forge, shape, and harden steel. You'll see how to add handles, fix up old tools, and test your finished piece. You'll also learn how to keep growing your skills with what you already have.

If you're ready to stop thinking and start making, this is where to begin. Pick up the hammer. Make your first blade. Start today.
