All you really need to make a knife is a somewhat abrasive brick and a bar of steel, everything after that just makes the process a little easier. We really do need more information for a better recommendation of tools, what you need varies a lot based on what youre planning to make and how. If you plan on doing kit knives you can get by with just getting a hand drill and a couple files.
Stock removal knives, youll need something more along the lines of a belt sander/grinder, files, drill press, possibly an angle grinder or two, and this is all assuming you send your blades out for heat treatment. Forging, all of the above, plus a forge, anvil, hammers, etc.
If youre planning on doing pocket knives, folders and the like, it muddies the water even more. Depending on what style folder youre making and how you plan on getting the hardware, you can add anything to that list from a disc grinder to a milling machine. Theres a lot of unknowns going on there
