Just got started into making knives not even sure if I am doing things right. Have been using Black Diamond files can you guys give me some pointers on start to finish. I know this is a pretty wide area to cover, almost done with first knife went with a hollow grind an osage orange for handle looks good so far but I am new to all this thanks for any help I can get.

Start with the stickies at the top of the section. All the info you need and more is there. Also use the Blade Forums search here:

If you are working with files you can use a simple filing jig like the one Aaron Gough built and demonstrates here:
