About the Book

Immerse yourself in the rich and vibrant world of traditional African weaponry with Heather Harvey's captivating exploration. In this book, you'll discover the intricate craftsmanship and ancient techniques that birthed 12 stunning antique weapons from her personal collection. Heather, a seasoned blacksmith and bladesmith herself, takes you on a progress through time as she tries to recreate these masterpieces using her own damascus steel.
Author Heather Harvey M.S. (American Bladesmith Society Master Bladesmith) does not claim to be an expert on traditional African weapons, but this isn't just a book about weapons; it's a tribute to the skilled African blacksmiths and bladesmiths who, despite their limited tools, were able to forge pieces of such beauty and complexity. Heather's deep-rooted connection to Africa - being a fifth-generation African - adds an extra layer of authenticity and passion to her narrative.
But there's more! As you delve into the pages of this book, you'll also gain a newfound appreciation for the love and commitment that went into creating these incredible antiques. You'll see how each weapon tells its own unique story - stories of culture, history, artistry, and human ingenuity.
Whether you're a maker, collector or simply someone with an interest in African history or craftsmanship, this book is sure to captivate your imagination. It's not just about understanding how these weapons were made; it's about appreciating the rich cultural heritage they represent.
Join Heather on this exciting journey into Africa's past. Experience the thrill of discovery as she unravels the secrets behind these traditional weapons. Be inspired by her passion for preserving these pieces of history and her respect for the artisans who created them. This is more than just a book; it's an adventure into the heart of Africa's remarkable legacy.
She hopes to include more of her original artefacts in future books.
