Hello,
I have be collecting knives for years and now I am thing about maybe making some knives of my own. I need to know what I need to begin -- tools, hardware, etc..
 
I know a good start would be to read the stickies above. The equipment can range from hand tools to expensive power tools. If you want to spend say $10,000. Then the power tools would get you going, but don't guarantee you success. It's been a long haul for most of us and most still feel the learning continues. On the other hand knife making can be very rewarding. Frank

I started with watching a lot of you tube, a 1x30 belt grinder, and some quality belts from your favorite knife making supply stores. As you progress you will slowly acquire what you need. Best way to get started is to get your hands dirty.
