Murray Carter has several books that I would recommend. I have his "101 Knife Designs" and he also has another one that I don't have but would recommend is "Bladesmithing with Murray Carter"

The first knife book I ever bought was "How to Make Knives" by Bob Loveless and Richard W. Barney. Someone dated, but written by the Master of modern knife-making.

I'd recommend Knifemaking Hacks and Next Level Knifemaking, but they're not out yet

Knifemaking by Bo Bergman is worth reading - all I need.
