It's not the best thing for a true beginner (although most would say that a true beginner shouldn't even try their hand at blades until after building up their skills on every other kind of craft), but it includes plenty of information that you'd need to scour the ends of the internet to find otherwise, including things that require a materials science degree to fully comprehend. It's probably about as good as a book can be for what it is; it doesn't have all the information you could ever need, and it won't turn you into a master bladesmith (only practice can do that), but it's a great source for anyone who's starting out on the craft of bladesmithing and doesn't have a master to apprentice under, and is probably a good thing to have for anyone who does. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good for Beginners *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 16, 2021* Adequate for burgeoning blacksmiths. Imparts a good sense of shop efficiency and setup. If you're just starting out and can't find enough sources online, this book will help you make a foundation of skills to build on. Lacking in advanced instruction, but that's why there's another volume. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Not Quite So Simple *by K***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 1, 2001* You too can be a neurosurgeon! All you need are a table, and some tools...as a complete novice blacksmith, I found that you need some basic skills, and probably lots of them, before you are able to make a decent sword. This book is not going to make the sword for you, of course, but it also lacks such basic information as supply sources and costs. When the author tells you that a new anvil can be expensive, does he mean $100, or $1200? (hint: it's the latter!) Various steps in the process are left out, and though they are no doubt clear to the author, you will probably want to see if a swordmaker will let you watch before you get into an extremely difficult and time-consuming project. All that said, this is probably an important reference book that you should own---perhaps after you buy "The Complete Modern Blacksmith" by Weygers or "The New Anvil's Edge" by Andrews, both of which are quite a bit less expensive and much more user friendly, from my extreme beginner point of view. I'm having a good time learning what to hit and when, and you'll probably get a lot out of blacksmithing should you choose to try it, too. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/1703087-the-complete-bladesmith-forging-your-way-to-perfection-paperback-january](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/1703087-the-complete-bladesmith-forging-your-way-to-perfection-paperback-january) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
