In starting to make kit knives, you will need some basic hand tools. As in scribing calipers, epoxy, med. sized files and small files (6-8 inch for med), sandpaper in progressive grits up to atleast 1000 grit, a vise.

From that point on, it is up to you and your bank account. Drill press, grinder, sanding machines, just to start the list.

Check out this page: http://hossom.com/tutorial/jonesy/

This is the tutorial that I used to get started. You need very little tools to make a knife if you really want to.
