Welcome.....you and your brothers do some seriously good work!!! I think with the skills you already have it wont take long for you to make some really nice work. If you enjoy what you've been doing I think you may get "bitten by the knife making bug"...it can get a lil addictive for some of us.

The best advice I can give you right now is first build a propane forge (not very hard at all) then get your self some carbon steel like 1084 and learn to heat treat. Heat treting will take some trial and error that is the biggest challenge in the beginning but you need it a good heat treat is the heart and soul of a knife without it all you have is a knife shaped object.....if you have questions just ask a lot of great guys on here
