I have seen a recent review of a new book on Saxon steel making – which I have mislaid.

It might have been on the subject of knife making.

Can anyone help me with the title and author?

Grateful thanks in advance

Kind regards

… if only to find some useful contacts.

Edit: __ and, strangely enough, this discussion on bladesmithsforum appears to reference a French site selling that paper:
