Hey guys.
I have been laid up a lot lately and am bored out of my mind. Since I am sitting around I thought I would do some reading. I was talking with my good buddy

and saying that it would be cool if there was a knife book or series like the Traditional Bowiers Bibles where you could go to read about history, engineering, performance and how to use them. I don't know if its practical for a book but I was wondering if there is a way that maybe people could write articles or deposit information. Does anyone have any ideas how to do that or intrest in the idea?
I was also hoping maybe people could give me places to start for various knife related information. I am really looking for studies on cutting and how the edge interacts with different materials. Anything from medical to woodworking to commercial stuff would be cool to look at. I also wanted to get into the historical and in time I plan on starting to do replicas and find an area to explore. It would be interesting to find a local group that is doing HEMA and see what they learn about how some of the stuff was used.
Anyway just throw anything that you find interesting at me. I don't really care what it is. At some point hopefully my body will start working again but for now I might as well learn something interesting. If anyone knows how to set something up where we could post information my in depth than the word count lets us do here and has done some cool research that they want to share it would be really interesting. I know a bunch of you have search a lot of history and archeology to make your stuff. It would cool to hear what you learned.

's book really made it stand out that there are years amd years of people giving hard learned knowledge and it's so nice to have something that contains a lot of it in a spot thats easy to find. I don't have it in me to write a book but a more polished and better quality version of the stickies would be awesome.
