Beginner Knife and Sword Maker

[Sir William Stoneshield]

I will be retiring within one year, and want to try my hand at Bowie knife, and sword making. How does one go about finding out what tools are required, and basically what start-up items are needed? Should I apprentice under someone, or just book study?
