A compilation of Ed Fowler's most memorable articles from "Blade" magazine, this new volume is sure to be treasured by anyone who appreciates the value and beauty of a good blade.

Carving a huge following from his popular Knife Talk columns in BLADE magazine, Ed Fowler amasses a second volume of columns just as informative and exciting as the first. A veteran knife maker from Wyoming, Fowler presents 65 articles on such topics as function, design, and technique; philosophy; forging and heat-treating; and the outside world. He also discusses industry legends, knife maintenance, the sheep horn style, how to grind blades, hardening vs. tempering, ball bearing steel, and carbon steel.
