When I left Best Made in 2019 I started writing a book that would eventually become my homage to the tool that started it all. Buchanan-Smith’s Axe Handbook is the culmination of a lifetime of knowledge and inspiration. It’s the result of many trips to forges around the world, and putting countless specimens, techniques, and methods to the test."—Peter Buchanan-Smith, founder
When it was released in 2021, Best Made was under new ownership so Buchanan-Smith's Axe Handbook never had a home. Until now...
We're proud to announce Buchanan-Smith's Axe Handbook is going into its 2nd printing, and we'll have more available in January 2025.
