Various Instructional Knife Making Links
Those of you in the early stages of knife making might find these links useful.
Good luck! Be sure to use common sense and always be very safe and cautious!
Remember: you only get two eyes, two ears, two lungs and ten fingers. Try to
make them last at least 100 years.
