Hello to everybody,
This is my first post in this forum. I have been knife-crazed since I was just an idea in my Dads head, and like most, I have spent huge amounts of time and $ in the pursuit of my hobby and learned a few things along the way. The natural step now is to start to make my own knives. I see all kinds of books advertised, and there is a ton of information out there, as you all know. So I thought I should ask you guys for advice on where to start. Is there a book that stands out from the others? What do I do? What do I need? Where do I start?
I am not intending to make knives full time, just for my own personal satisfaction and use, thus a huge forge is not what I am looking for, nor could afford.
Please, if any of you out there could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
Thank You for your time.
