Knife Book

[Gray Ghost]

Can anyone recommend a good knife book or site that explains the different kinds of blades, edges, points, materials etc?

I a not terribly concerned with the history of knives. Instead I am interested in more of a working knowledge.

I would check the library and see what they have on hand.

This thread in shop talk has previews of some of the better knife books.

I think that:

Custom knifemaking: 10 projects from a master craftsman By Tim McCreight
and
Step by Step Knifemaking - David Boye

may be what you are after, different ways to build a knife-variations in construction and materials
