Do you want to start without breaking the bank with expensive machinery? Have you come across the perfect piece of scrap steel, but dont know how to turn it into a knife? Are you always getting your knife shattered or warped, every time you attempt to heat treat it? Are small imperfections in your knives frustrating you? I, the author, also faced such problems.
