Hi Coolbeer,
I'm reading a book called "Step-by-step Knifemaking, You Can Do It!" by David Boye that I got from the library.
So far, it's pretty good. You might also want to look up a knifemaker in your area and see if you can go over and take a look at his shop and ask a bunch of questions, etc. Bringing a bribe usually makes this go smoother <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Good luck and welcome to the yard.
