Review: **ENDLESS DESIGN POSSIBILITIES** - I purchased this book about 2 years ago and it is by far my favorite book on knife making. Plenty of useful info, crisp coloful pics, and knife templates. This book is well worth the investment because you can adjust the templates according to your taste. Example. Say you find a template and you like the design of the handle but maybe the blade profile isn't the style you're looking for. Simply trace out the handle and match it up to another blade style that you want to use from another template, or draw up your own. The 101 designs in this book can literally turn into 1001 designs if you get creative. Awesome book. Highly recommend. Buy it!
Review: A must have for those who want to get into bladesmithing or knife making. - I just bought and finished this book and I must say this is a great book that covers some harder to find details of knife design, that centers on Practical use blades. the title is quite clever as well as it not only shares 101 knifes designs in the back, but also covers introductory class in college courses. the book covers designs from basic utility knifes up to machetes and was easy for me to understand. it also helps answer one of the most important questions about knife design: Just how thick do I make this B****. it also covers the authors presses for making a knife pattern. It also does include at the end 101 knife patterns. All and all I learned far more about knife design then I knew before reading this. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn bladesmithing and to anyone who wants to learn the finer points of blade design. However, I must say that well this is a great book for learning how to design a blade, you should your own way of prototyping that fits you. example: I like to use clip studio paint over hand drawing a blade. I like clip studio because as I can draw the blade to size, then size the blade for printing it out in 8.5x11 printer paper to be printed out in full size. I also prefer to fine tune the blade as I am forging it for the first time, take a picture of the finished project and trace it out using Clip studio paint. However, I do plan on Incorporating some of Murray's design techniques into my own.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the price just for the designs in the back of the book
*by L***E on February 4, 2020*

This isn't an instructional book about knife making, as others have pointed out. I has a few insights into knife design that I found useful, but I mostly found it useful for the collection of designs in the back. Murray really is an excellent knife designer. His designs are elegant, and still simple enough for a beginning maker to pull off. 5 or 6 of the first 15 knives I made were from his designs. They are great tools, feel great in the hand, and look beautiful. I would recommend this to any beginning maker, with the caveat that you won't learn the whole process in this book. There are plenty of other resources on that (YouTube, other books, BladeForums, etc). If you take this book as a catalog of excellent patterns that you can copy guilt-free, and a few nuggets of insight into knife design, then it is well worth the price. If you could only have one book about knife making to get you started, this probably isn't it.
