Magazine: American Bladecraft is a knife and axe making magazine. It is a recipe resource for Blacksmithing that teaches nine forging recipes.
Reading it covers most everyday blades. Forge Machete Blade, Forge Large Knife Blade, Forge Hunting Knife Blade and Forge Meat Cleaver Blade make knife and machete blades. Forge Hatchet Head, Forge Wood Axe Head and Forge Axe Head make axe heads. Forge Small Knife and Forge Fleshing Tool round out the list.
The magazine turns up in gun stores, hunting lodges, libraries and tool stores.
Uses
The recipes give a smith a full set of cutting tools. A forged Large Knife Blade or Machete Blade only needs a Small Handle to become a working Large Knife or Machete. The axe heads go onto handles for chopping trees and fighting.
Forge Fleshing Tool is useful for leatherwork. The fleshing tool scrapes hides on a Softening Beam before tanning.
Forge Machete Blade is a high level recipe at Blacksmithing level 9. Forge Large Knife Blade needs only level 4, so the knife recipes come first.
Reading the magazine also eases boredom and stress. A read copy still has a use as padding. Make Magazine Body Armor and Make Magazine Limb Armor accept any magazine as crude armour.
