Jason, Here's a few books that may help you. Custon Knifemaking, by Tim McCreight...How to Make Knives, by Barney and Loveless...How to Make Folding Knives, by Lake, Centofante, and Clay...and the Fifty Dollar Knife Shop, by Goddard. The first one I mentioned will get you going and the last one also. Ray |

If your going the forging route, I highly recommend the series of books by Jim Hrisoulas... The Complete Bladesmith The Master Bladesmith and.....The Pattern-welded Blade Start with the first one and work you way through.....these are very good guidelines for the beginner. |
