Wow, what great information you all are sharing. Great Stuff!
My "knife making" so far has been just putting scales on a bought blank. Unfortunately there is still snow on the ground so I am limited to only work I can do in my finished basement without making too much of a mess. Once the snow leaves I will buy a steel blank and try my hand at material reduction with hand tools, heat treating with a brick forge etc. Currently no budget for a grinder etc. I also believe I guess in learning from the ground up/old school ways.
If I can post a pict, I'll show you all the offending knife handle.
