This review is from: Knifemaking Unplugged (DVD)

There are alot of knifemaking videos and DVD's on the market right now. Many of them are very specialized and geared towards people with alot of the equipment you will already need. This DVD is perfect for people who may just be starting out, with very little if any tooling. Most everything that is used in the DVD is available locally. I don't hesitate to recommend this to any one interested in making knives or just interested in understanding the process of what goes into making a knife.

This review is from: Knifemaking Unplugged (DVD)

Tim's and Marian's video isn't for everyone. If you're looking for a video on modern knifemaking techniques using air-hardening tool steel, multi-thousand dollar belt sanders, digitally controlled electric heat treating ovens, salt bath quenches, micarta handles, kydex sheaths, and all the other high-tech bells and whistles, this isn't the video you're looking for. But if the idea of making knives like our ancestors made them for thousands of years -- just you, a hammer, an anvil, a fire, a pair of tongs (optional, depending on the length of your stock) and a chunk of iron -- appeals to you, YOU NEED THIS VIDEO. Tim Lively makes art with sharp edges, and he does it with no power tools, on a shoestring budget. By the time you've finished the video, you'll believe that you can, too. And you know what? You can.

In the interest of full disclosure, I probably should add that Tim was kind enough to give me a copy of the video a few months ago. I'm working on knives numbers three, four and five right now!

This review is from: Knifemaking Unplugged (DVD)

This video was perfect for me. I didnt know anything about making knifes. This DVD was easy to follow and fun to watch. Knifemaking takes a lot of work but Tim and Marian made it look so simple. I would recommend this video to anyone that is on a budget and wants to start making knifes. They really know how to stretch their resources. Thank you for making such a helpful DVD!
