"The most important ingredient for success with simple methods is to have a sincere desire to do." ~Wayne Goddard There's nothing better than spending time in the presence of an experienced knifemaker, except maybe, learning a few tricks of the trade. In this revised edition of Wayne Goddard's $50 Knife Shop , Wayne walks you through creating a cost-effective shop of your own, and enhancing your knifemaking skills by getting back to the basics. The very book that changed the face of bladesmithing is revamped, with full color photo instructions and the tried-and-true format you will refer to for years to come. If you want to make knives like on Forged in Fire , this is the place to start. This go-to guide covers: * Tools needed to make knives, and outfit a personal workshop without breaking the bank * Forging and heat-treating techniques, to help improve existing bladesmithing skills * 250 color photos demonstrate basic knife making techniques Review: The book that gets it done. - This is not a good book, it is a great book. I have been making knives for several years and have purchased different books over that time as points of reference. I've learned different valuable things from each of the different books. The $50 Knife Shop is head and shoulders above the rest of the knife making books in my collection (with the exception of Forging and Finishing the Brut De Forge Knife by Joe Keeslar.) Get the $50 Knife Shop first, then Keeslar's book, and you'll likely need no others. The $50 Knife Shop takes you from start to finish on making a knife. It is comprehensive in that it has directions on everything from how to make a Single Brick Forge, to heat treating, grinding, making heads on pins, making a belt grinder and disc grinder, even a section on how to get a tight handle fit with a hidden tang knife using rubber bands. I always used gravity to keep my handles straight, until seeing the color photos in the book. I could go on but you probably won't read any farther, and I'm ready to get out to my shop. There are really good books available on the craft of knife making, but I recommend these two without reservation. With the $50 Knife Shop you will be able to make a very good and serviceable cutting tool. (I wrote cutting tool simply because the "K" word is more than likely offensive to some people, and may soon become politically incorrect to use.) Review: Good Resource on blacksmithing knives on a budget - This is an interesting book that takes a bit of a different tact when it comes to blacksmithing blades and knives. The title says it all. This is the fifty dollar knife shop. So, a whole lot of the material covered in this book is about simple forges, simple tools, and putting together a shop for knife making. So predominantly this is about the tools of blacksmithing. And about 20% of the book is about the actual process of making knives. You get two methods including the forging method and the stock removal method that doesn't require a forge. This 20% is very informative though -lots of pictures, diagrams and explanations of blades, blade shapes blades in the process of being forged and how to do it. If you want to make knives on a tight budget this is a great resource. - well, even if your budget is bigger you should still get this book. It's a great resource. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #752,415 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,448 in Utility Knives | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 434 Reviews | ## Images ![Wayne Goddard's $50 Knife Shop, Revised - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815EBZh9usL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The book that gets it done. *by L***Y on June 1, 2013* This is not a good book, it is a great book.

It covers all of the options. I did however feel that Goddard spends too much time focusing on his own little customizations. It's interesting to hear about his backwoods ingenuity but a lot of those details don't translate to the modern basement hobbyist. It's not so easy to find a 1950's dishwasher motor and weld it to a rusty fender from a 1950's tractor. I'm exaggerating a bit but you get the idea. Once you decide what technique you're going to use you will need a book that focuses more on that. But overall it's a great addition to any hobbyists library. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/1773616-wayne-goddards-50-knife-shop-revised](https://www.desertcart.in/products/1773616-wayne-goddards-50-knife-shop-revised) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
