The Big Knife Book: How to Make Your Own Knife (book, Swedish)

Few things can boost your self-esteem like knifemaking: you create something beautiful and useful that gets immediate recognition. Another nice aspect of knifemaking is that there is no set formula or absolute right or wrong. There are points of reference and rules of thumb, but once you have learned the basics, you are free to follow your own ideas.

The Big Knife Book is aimed at both the beginner and the enthusiast who has already tried the craft and is looking for new inspiration. It begins with a step-by-step description of a traditional Nordic knife with a hidden tang and matching leather sheath, supported by clear illustrations and photos.

For those who want to go deeper, it also covers:
Design
Blade forging and sharpening
Wood and other knife materials
Tools
Metalwork
Leatherwork
How to make a full-tang knife and a folding knife

The book also contains inspiring portraits of some of Denmark's best knifemakers, with pictures of their unique knives. At the back there are material descriptions for all the knives in the book. In Swedish.
