Check out Knife Engineering: Steel, Heat Treating, and Geometry by Dr. Larrin Thomas (2020) , and Puukko: Finnish Knives from Antiquity to Today by Anssi Ruusuvuori (2020)
Wow, that "knives and knife makers" book pricing is ridiculous! I didn't even know about knife making podcasts until last month, so I never would've guessed they had a large enough audience and influence to double the price of a book, let alone increase it by 10 times! I've never heard of the book so now I'm interested in what it contains. Im wondering if it'll come back down to earth in a couple of years once this frenzy slows down. Also, thanks for recommending that Joe Keeslar book, that really looks like it has a lot of useful information and I'll surely be picking one up sometime.
Knives in homespun America, still looking for a copy that my wife won't shoot me for buying, LoL! Myself, I'm looking for more pics/ info on the Cephas Ham Bowie, I love that raw cleaver look!
So hard to find a video on UA-cam that just tells you which knife book covers the basics of sharpening, different metals and basics. I don't care about prices of knives or making a knife. I give up I'm going to research on a text only website * I've been asked to teach a group of young patriot boys about knives, how to handle a knife, different metals and best sharpening techniques. I won't leave a thumbs down on this video but I can't leave a thumbs up either
Ohhh Mann this is a video that I was asking for Years ksksksk! Tks for the dicas
Glad you found it helpful.

I got the $50 knife shop at silver dollar city and love it. Good basic how to's on a budget. Great for beginners.
I read that book a ton when I was starting!
And it's only about $20!!!
I also would add Jim Hrisoulas's books on blade making ,simply superb and written so anyone can understand it . Again , nice job Allen .
He does have some good stuff.

Pretty crazy how fast it happened. The Mark of the Maker is pretty good podcast and Tom Krien is quite a talented maker.

I haven’t read that one. I will have to keep an eye out.

I never realized the knife book scene could be so overpriced and obnoxious and pretentious. I come from the gunsmithing scene and it's not like that
