I would respectfully disagree about the $50 Knife Shop by Goddard. I have always wanted to try making a knife and I had heard this was a great book to have so I bought it. Now I know almost nothing about getting a piece of steel and working it into an actual knife and that's what I wanted to learn how to do. This book doesn't tell you hardly anything about actually MAKING a knife. The book is what the title says it is "$50 KNIFE SHOP." It tells you how to get the tools and set up a "shop" to make knives on the cheap, NOT how to make knives.
After looking through the book for about 30 minutes I took it back.
Like I said, I have NEVER built a knife in my entire life and want to know how and what to do. Take my recommendations for what they are worth on this book. I am still looking for a book that actually tells about HOW TO MAKE A KNIFE or at least gives you some guidelines and walks you through what you BASICALLY have to do.
Good Luck in your search.
