Want to start knife making

[mlawson]

The blade forums is giving me loads of hobbies. First Balisong now knife making. Is there a book or webpage with good startup info on it? a king of "knife making for dummies"

Pick up the book "How to Make Knives by Barney and Loveless. It's an invaluable resource for the beginning knifemaker. I re-read my copy all th time.

See my handmade knives here...

Was that an "instant fix" in Photoshop? Cool. I just twaeked the picture to bring it out a little more. I captured the image directly from the DVD and they were all dark. A little brightness and contrast makes it look better.

I darkened it a little more.
look at it again.
I'm not sure if you'll see the difference un less you dump your temp files and refresh your browser..
