I've been interested in building my own hunting and camping knives, but i just do not know where to begin. what should I start with? where should i start looking for supplies, what do I need? Ive watched videos and googled things. but I would really like someone to help point me in the right directions! Ive got several antlers to make handles, but where do i go from there? thanks

Are you going to be able to completely shape the blade from raw material and perform hardening and tempering steps yourself?
Or, do you need a finished blade that you can attach and shape your own handle design?
Are you focusing on stainless steel blades or simple carbon?
First you may need to decide your path before I could offer some direction.
