Foreword. Wayne Goddard's career making knives mirrors that of the modem custom knifemaking movement- that is, from the mid-1960s to the present. In that time he has explored the gamut ofknifemaking, from grinding blades via the stock-removal method to forgirig them to shape. In the interim he has won many awards for his knives and has established himself as one oflhe most respected names in handmade cutlery. In addition to being a product of "The Golden Age of Custom Knives," Wayne is one of the rarest of blade breeds. Not only does he make a premium knife but he also teaches others how to do it and he does so without the slightest hint of reluctance some makers have about sharing their "knifemaking secrets." In fact, one "secret" to Wayne's success is that he has no secrets. He lays bare everything he knows about making outstanding knives and scoffs at those who guard their tricks of the trade as if they were some kind of Holy Grail. Whether in seminar form, where he turns so-called knifemaking mysteries into easily understandable, step-by-step procedures, or in the written word by way of his "Question & Answer," "Steels," "BLADE Workshop," "All About Grinders" and "The $50 Knife Shop" columns in BLADE Magazine®, Wayne stands out as one of the handmade industry's foremost instructors. So has it been especially with his "The $50 Knife Shop" series, which, of course, is the basis for this book. One of the myths of knife making is that you must have the latest in expensive machinery and materials to craft a fine knife. In The $50 Knife Shop, Wayne shows you how to build your own forge, heat-treating oven and other knife shop equipment and also provides instruction on making fine knives from common, everyday items you can obtain through yard sales, at junkyards or even find around the house. Then, he 'l takes you through the forging of a knife, a knife that can hold its own with just about any similar piece made on today's hi-tech cutlery machinery. As most cutlers will admit, making knives is not brain surgery. Wayne not only admits it, he shows you, in his straightforward, no-nonsense writing style, how it is done with the simplest of methods, materials and equipment. Even if you do not want to make knives, this book is a must read just to see how easily it can be done. Of course, Wayne cannot make you expend the hours of practice, hard work, and blood, sweat and tears it takes to make a choice piece of cutlery. You will have to do that on your own. But he can share more than three decades of experience and knowledge that he has gained. I'd say that's a pretty good bargain for the cover price. Steve Shackleford Editor, BLADE Magazine. ...
