Good folding knife how to.

[sierra11b]

I'm curious as to which book would be the most helpful for someone like me? Or even a video.
I have never made a knife but plan to get my hands on a kit here shortly. I have been entertaining the idea and really, really want to start making folders.

The only thing that's keeping me from doing anything is that I have no idea what tools i'll need, etc.

If you could recommend one book which would it be on how to make folding knives?

It realy breaks everything down to where even I can understand it.

Jason Howell has a couple of good tutorials on his website. One is on Anodizing Titanium, and the other on building a liner lock folder. Rays is very good also.
