I want to try my hand at knife making. How should I start? Are there any good websites, books, etc. on the subject of knife making? From reading some of the posts on here it seems like I have a lot of the right tools. Any help would be real nice.  :bigsmyl:

I have found that the folks on this forum are very helpful just start asking questions and I'm sure someone will help, the knife business seems to be different from other occupations where every thing seems to be a secret, haven't met anyone that would not help if asked.
