As books for the beginning knifemaker go "10 projects" is an excelent place to start. Tim McCreight has done a good job of selecting a variety of interesting projects of different skill levels for the novice. Each project is designed to bring a new aspect of knife making to light, and in doing so present a very rounded beginning. I have only two problems which I think the book fails to address. First, the depth of information concerning cutlery and its production could fill several volumes. I believe that Mr. McCreight would have been better served to concentrate on the stock removal method first, so that the finishing and grinding aspects of knife production could be understood in full. Then proceed to the forge and show the transition therefore giving a distinct break and an opportunity for the student to explore the skills involved. The second difficulty I have with this work is that some of the instuctions are difficult to follow and require alot of practice to pull off successfully. Other than that is is a well written and comprehensive work. and although not my first choice for a beginner it is a valuable tool for projects and tecniques.

The book to start with for hobby knifemakers
19. Juni 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
If you want to be Bob Loveless, this isn't your book. If you want to make a decent knife but have no idea where to start, this is your book. If you want to make a few knives and use your hands for every step, start with McCreight's book. If you have already made a few knives and konw what you like, you might find useful information here, but it might not be the one to start with.
I started here. I now own almost all of the knifemaking books on the market and all of them have useful information. This is still the one I go to for inspiration when I want variety. The 10 different projects are presented from the viewpoint of a jeweler who wants to make a few knives with many techniques adapted from silversmithing, rather than the more usual machinist-knifemaker books that start by telling you to get a milling machine and a belt grinder. For beginners and people who want to use their hands, this book is very good.
The knives are a little rough (your first few will be rough, no matter what book you use, so don't worry about that), but functional. The hollow-handle survival knife is probably the one that needs the most revision. I just don't trust the soldered attachment of tang to handle.
In all, I suggest this book to more people than any other. After this one, I would send folks to David Boye's book, then to Blackie Collins' (yes, I know it is out of print, but look for it). The Loveless book is the fourth on my personal list. It required a machine shop to make a knife like Bob Loveless and that is just out of the scope of a beginner. McCreight on the other hand, has a book that is specifically for beginners. Start here.

Great book for beginners
5. März 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is a great introduction to knifemaking with good projects arranged in order of difficulty. It keeps things simple and easy to understand without previous experience in metalwork. While it may not have much discussion on the different properties of different steels, I don't feel that including that information would really serve the purpose of the book, which is basically to teach a complete beginner how to make a knife. It does get into more complex techniques at the end, such as forging and pattern-welding, if you want to get a little more invested in the craft.
Also, this book is great for an intro to basic metalworking skills such as cutting, filing, drilling, sanding, soldering, and forging. It covers about everything we did in my first semester of Metals 101 (with the exception of more complex soldering).
