I drove my family all the way out to Bethlehem, PA to film a video about steel history so I hope you watch it. Read about my knife steel history book here: https://knifesteelnerds.com/2023/05/09/new-book-the-story-of-knife-steel-innovators-behind-modern-damascus-and-super-steels/
Innovators that Changed Knife Steel
How do I find the video you mention?
It is embedded in this article
I bet that was interesting I’ve never been back east but in 10 th grade economics I picked Bethlehem Steel as my stock pick. And theoretically made money. Love your books and all the research you do. . I’m making a 8-1/2 chef knife with magna it.

Thank you for writing such a fascinating book Larrin! The nerd in me loves the information and the history while the kid in me loves the pictures!
This is a GREAT book about knives and the steels used in them. I’m currently reading it for the third time in one year. I pick up something new every time I read it. Dr. Thomas really knows his stuff and explains so the laymen like me can understand it. Great book.
That video hit home. My dad was born in Hazleton, PA and worked for Bethlehem Steel starting in the 50’s and eventually took an early retirement in ’83 after the company took a huge loss. My dad used to bring me home such fun “toys” such as iron ingots, manganese ore, vanadium, and coke. Lol However, I never knew of the company’s ties to HSS and “Industrial Engineering”.
Thanks again for a great video.
i bought the book on amazon.de. interestingly it seems to be not available on amazon.com, just so you know.
Sounds. Great!
Is there a plan for a kindle version of the book?
Just PDF at this point
I wonder if we may soon be seeing “knife steel nerds, on assignment in Japan”?
