Hello,
I am new to the Blade forum and I thank anyone in advance for their help or advice.
I have been an avid knife collector for roughly 25 years and now in my 40s I'm beginning to have an interest in knife design and I also would love to learn how to make custom knives and create my own pieces.
I have no intentions what-so-ever of starting a business. My concern is solely as a pastime and for personal enjoyment. So, with that said.
What are the best books to read, instructional, history of or otherwise and to have as part of a personal library. I'm interested solely as a hobby. So which are the most popular of the published books about learning knifemaking & blade-smithing? Amazon has a few with 4-5 stars worth of reviews, but I wanna hear it from the people in the know.
Once again, thank you for any help or advice.
