Knife and sword making has gotten a lot more attention in the last few decades thanks to popular movies and TV shows like the History Channel’s Forged In Fire. While obviously edited and arranged for maximum dramatic effect (it is supposed to be entertaining, after all!) shows like these give an interesting peek into one of mankind’s oldest methods of toolmaking: the forge. When people think about what knifemakers do, this is what often comes to mind.
However, it's not the only option.
