Steel Metallurgy Book Recommendations

I have written up short descriptions of 5 books on steel metallurgy and knives for those who want to learn more about the subject. One of them is 100% free.

Thank you for sharing these sources. I was reading a bit of the free one. Not sure if I agree that swords are evil objects or that only men like them and cars .

I think you are misinterpreting what he said in reference to "evil objects," here are a couple quotes:
"Swords are evil objects if you consider only their intended or actual use as weapons. I fully sympathize with all of you who look a bit askance at weaponry of all kind...
Yet, if you stay with me for a while longer, you will find that there is far more to swords than pain and death, and that studying their history and technology can be rewarding."

As to the comments on men and women, I'm not going to touch that one.
