Can you guys give me a list of everything I will need?
I have two grind/brush stones already.
 
Search around there are many threads about this. Simplest is knife steel, files, sandpaper, wood, more sandpaper, epoxy and a drill press for 2 pins.

Good luck and have fun, its a really rewarding hobby. It isn't as easy as it looks. :)
 
Go to the stickies at the top of the page and read those through. There's a lot of very practical information in those. Making a knife is a "big deal". Some times a n ask for help is just too huge to answer. Regular grinders don't help much for some of us. A belt grinder is the chosen way to go. On the other hand some good files and a piece of say 1085 with a lot of hand work can get some good results. Many just want one or two knives and as well can't afford the large expense of going further. I'm sure there will be more responses. My best to you on getting the information you need. Frank
 
Count, I want to be a better knifemaker. Order me all the things I need, pay for it and send me a bill. As soon as I make all the money from this lucrative venture I'll pay you back. Thanks.

I'll get right on that.

I'm thinking about taking videogame gold too.
