Reccomendations for technical books on KNIFE MAKING

I'm not interested in making knives myself, and wound up interested from the combatives angle, so I am pretty green when I check out some of the tech debates on metals, treatment, harness ratings, etc.

I would really like to get a grasp in order to appreciate the craft and my own cutlery more completely.

Plese reccomend what you think are the best books in this direction. I have been considering a number of the Paladin Press books on knife making my Jim Hirsulias, are they worth looking into?

You've got the Engnath site already, so anything else is just icing on the cake
