Plenty of useful info, crisp coloful pics, and knife templates. This book is well worth the investment because you can adjust the templates according to your taste. Example. Say you find a template and you like the design of the handle but maybe the blade profile isn't the style you're looking for. Simply trace out the handle and match it up to another blade style that you want to use from another template, or draw up your own. The 101 designs in this book can literally turn into 1001 designs if you get creative. Awesome book. Highly recommend. Buy it! Review: A must have for those who want to get into bladesmithing or knife making. - I just bought and finished this book and I must say this is a great book that covers some harder to find details of knife design, that centers on Practical use blades. the title is quite clever as well as it not only shares 101 knifes designs in the back, but also covers introductory class in college courses. the book covers designs from basic utility knifes up to machetes and was easy for me to understand. it also helps answer one of the most important questions about knife design: Just how thick do I make this B****. it also covers the authors presses for making a knife pattern. It also does include at the end 101 knife patterns. All and all I learned far more about knife design then I knew before reading this. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn bladesmithing and to anyone who wants to learn the finer points of blade design. However, I must say that well this is a great book for learning how to design a blade, you should your own way of prototyping that fits you. example: I like to use clip studio paint over hand drawing a blade. I like clip studio because as I can draw the blade to size, then size the blade for printing it out in 8.5x11 printer paper to be printed out in full size. I also prefer to fine tune the blade as I am forging it for the first time, take a picture of the finished project and trace it out using Clip studio paint. However, I do plan on Incorporating some of Murray's design techniques into my own. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #317,976 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #13 in Sword & Knife Collecting #32 in Weaponsmithing #118 in Metal Work (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 150 Reviews | ## Images ![101 Knife Designs: Practical Knives for Daily Use - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716DQ256tlL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **ENDLESS DESIGN POSSIBILITIES** *by R***S on August 30, 2024* I purchased this book about 2 years ago and it is by far my favorite book on knife making.

It has some full size color pictures of his work which are nice and they're inspiring. But it also has some great templates 101 that you can photocopy, over 30 pages. He's not so narrow minded about designs that he thinks his are the only one's that should be used, he even invites collectors to purchase ones that aren't practical. There's a good chapter on making your own patterns and one on specific features. The ideas and patterns about the neck knives was worth the price to me especially the kata-ha. ## Frequently Bought Together - 101 Knife Designs: Practical Knives for Daily Use - Make Your Own Knife Handles: Patterns and Techniques for Customizing Your Blade - Knife Engineering: Steel, Heat Treating, and Geometry --- ## 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.pl/products/7383876-101-knife-designs-practical-knives-for-daily-use](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/7383876-101-knife-designs-practical-knives-for-daily-use) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
