Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Master of Iron, the conclusion to Tricia Levenseller’s exciting and romantic Bladesmith duology, a magically gifted blacksmith with social anxiety must race against the clock to save her beloved sister and stop a devastating war. Eighteen-year-old Ziva may have defeated a deadly warlord, but the price was almost too much. Ziva is forced into a breakneck race to a nearby city with the handsome mercenary, Kellyn, and the young scholar, Petrik, to find a powerful magical healer who can save her sister’s life. When the events that follow lead to Ziva and Kellyn’s capture by an ambitious prince, Ziva is forced into the very situation she’s been dreading: magicking dangerous weapons meant for world domination. The forge has always been Ziva’s safe space, a place to avoid society and the anxiety it causes her, but now it is her prison, and she’s not sure just how much of herself she’ll have to sacrifice to save Kellyn and take center stage in the very war she’s been trying to stop. Praise for the Bladesmith Duology: "An addictive page-turner. Loaded with action, betrayal, slow-burn romance—honestly, that is the best first kiss scene ever... Be prepared to laugh, cry, and gasp." — Mary E. Pearson, the New York Times-bestselling author of The Remnant Chronicles on Blade of Secrets "Levenseller elevates her already intriguing fantasy world through her depiction of Ziva, whose anxiety will ring true for anyone who’s ever had a panic attack. Grab this and devour it." — Booklist on Blade of Secrets, starred review "Blade of Secrets is an impactful, eye-opening journey of social anxiety that is flawlessly blended with Levenseller's signature flair for adventure and romance." —Bookstagram sensation Bridget Howard, @darkfaerietales_, on Blade of Secrets

Book excerpt: In Blade of Secrets, a romantic YA fantasy adventure from the author of Daughter of the Pirate King, a teenage blacksmith with social anxiety is forced to go on the run to protect the world from the most powerful magical sword she's ever made. Eighteen-year-old Ziva prefers metal to people. She spends her days tucked away in her forge, safe from society and the anxiety it causes her, using her magical gift to craft unique weapons imbued with power. Then Ziva receives a commission from a powerful warlord, and the result is a sword capable of stealing its victims' secrets. A sword that can cut far deeper than the length of its blade. A sword with the strength to topple kingdoms. When Ziva learns of the warlord’s intentions to use the weapon to enslave all the world under her rule, she takes her sister and flees. Joined by a distractingly handsome mercenary and a young scholar with extensive knowledge of the world’s known magics, Ziva and her sister set out on a quest to keep the sword safe until they can find a worthy wielder or a way to destroy it entirely.

Book Synopsis Bowies, Big Knives, And The Best Of Battle Blades by : Bill Bagwell
Download or read book Bowies, Big Knives, And The Best Of Battle Blades written by Bill Bagwell and published by Paladin Press. This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book binds the timeless observations and invaluable advice of master bladesmith and blade combat expert Bill Bagwell under one cover for the first time. As the outspoken author of Soldier of Fortune's "Battle Blades" column from 1984 to 1988, Bagwell was considered both outrageous and revolutionary in his advocacy of carrying fighting knives as long as 10 inches and his firm belief that the Bowie knife was the most effective and efficient fighting knife ever developed. His assignment as a contributing editor to SOF was to test and evaluate contemporary knives from all over the world, and he soon earned a reputation for cutting to the chase. Candid and frank almost to a fault, he told it like it was - and he could always back it up. Sixteen years after his first column made its debut, Bagwell's convictions on knife design and blade technique have gained validity in the industry, and he has earned the respect of even some of his most vocal critics. This book provides an unprecedented opportunity to study the design and use of Bowies and other big knives and learn which blade designs and combat techniques stand up to both the rigors of battle and the test of time.

Book Synopsis How to Forge Clyde Fischer Blades by : American Bladesmith Society
Download or read book How to Forge Clyde Fischer Blades written by American Bladesmith Society and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a beginner knifemaker, you need to read this book. To be a successful knife maker, not only will you have to learn how to make knives you will have to learn how to sell them. Clyde had famous hunters and writers recommending his knives in newspapers, and Field and Stream Magazines.To be a member of the Knifemakers Guild you will have to submit to the board promotional materials in the form of a Catalog of your knives. Clyde had authored three excellent catalogs promoting his knives.The first half of this book is about Clyde Edward Fischer's life. The second half is about how I made thirteen of his knives. I would suggest that a beginner bladesmith should take the American Bladesmith Society's "Introduction to Bladesmithing". Class. It is a two-week class that will teach you how to forge, grind, heat treat and finish knife blades. The ABS also teach a one week "Handles and Guards" Class.Clyde had his Grandfather's blacksmith's shop consisting of a bellows forge, anvil, hammers and tongs. At first, he had an industrial 6-inch diameter grindstone. Later, I think he purchased a 2X72-inch belt grinder. He may have added a buffer for polishing the blades. A powered buffer is the most dangerous machine in a knifemakers shop. It has been known to take a blade from one's hand and drive it into your groin, foot or some other body part. I would suggest that you learn to hand finish the blades. Do not buy a powered buffer.As an Apprentice, Journeyman or Master Bladesmith, I would recommend that you recreate some of the Fisher knives. They are well designed for their purpose and are good looking. They are as appealing today as they were when Clyde made them. I sold the knives that I made in a short period of time.
