Knives are loads of fun, practical, and a field of learning distinct from others. Comprising the signficant appeal of knives are attributes of engineering design, sophistication of materials, and artistic quality. Once chosen as a subject of serious interest, the journey begins. At this point, one typically enrolls in 'Knife University'. Classes are open to anyone and are very enlightening, but yet almost no one ever graduates. The reason for this lies in the fact that the learning process continues indefinitely.
Typical of the study subjects are:
1. Basic Knife Categories
2. Fixed Blade Knife Design Features
3. Folding Knife Designs
4. Folding Knife Blade Locking Systems
5. Metallurgy Of Knife Blades
6. Heat Treatment Of Blades
7. Sword Design, Features, and Care
8. Knife Sharpening Accessories
9. Knife Sharpening Procedures
10. Knife Collecting
11. Knives For Everyday Carry
12. Knife Safety
13. Knife Testing And Evaluation
14. Knife Making And Supplies
15. Knife Fighting And Self Defense
