    For those of you who want to give knifemaking a try, i encourage you.
    Some, like mettalurgy, temper and heat treat you can learn in a book
    and if you error on the safe side you can start out pretty good.
    The forgeing, shaping the steel and the grind are art and you will
    lose the most steel from those processes.
    Practice is everything. It's like shooting, you get a proper mount, you
    achieve a sight picture, and you pull the trigger.
    You often know if you threw one. The same with shaping and grinding.
    You will know up front if you screw one up.
    There are a lot of resources online for both old school forging
    or stock removal.
    The bst of luck to you all.

    To fight and conquer in one hundred battles is not the highest skill.
    To subdue the enemy with no fight at all,

    "That," is the highest skill.
