Just getting started. Watched some Youtube videos. Got Wayne Goddard's $50 Knife Shop.
Did some practice grinds with junk steel. Good blade steel is in the mail. I am fascinated by:
Trollsky's "How to make a knife with basic tools" on Youtube.
The only part I'm not clear on is the rivets. It appears as if he just glues them in and sands them smooth. Is that a sturdy enough connection or do they need to be peened?
