Hi,
I have always had a desire to make my own kitchen knife and given the amount of time I have on my hands during Covid 19 lockdown I thought now is a good time to start exploring the possibility.
I have never done any kind of metalwork or anything remotely like this before, so I am starting from the beginning.
From your experience what are some of the things I need to put on my 'to do' list if I am to start to learn how to make my own kitchen knives? I had in mind the idea of working with a steel billet bought online.
What is a good place to start?
Are there good books to read?
What basic tools and equipment do I need?
Regards
Jimnibob
