New here, I want to learn to make my own knives

Rdputnam said:
Thank you all for the tips and suggestions. I am wading through the stickies at the moment.
Luckily I found out a co worker will cut blanks for me on his water jet. Currently i am Trying to score a belt sander off of CL to get started. Most of my knives will be hand filed as suggested, I just figure I can use the grinder for jeep related and house related stuff while I figure the knife thing out.

Thanks again for the help. I will be posting lots of questions !

If your buddy has access to a water jet you have a REALLY good asset to make your own grinder on the cheap.

There are some really good plans available that he could just cut out all the parts for you, you still and tap holes and bolt it all together...
 
YouTube the hell outta yer computer. That’s what I did...even learned how to say knife making in 3 different languages so I could see more. First video I saw was a Trollsky vid; not the greatest instructional video but is still my favorite.
