newbie knifemaker to be

hello folks, i am just getting into this as a hobby for now and mabey in the future i will sell a few if my skills develop to the point that my work becomes good enough. can anyone tell me what some of my first tool purchases should be, i have a couple files and a sawzall with a few metal blades a couple clamps and a small vise, not much else right now. any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hammers, something to heat with and something to beat on

Walter Sorrells has an incredible series of videos on YouTube called "tools for the knifemaker". He goes through each and every tool and tells you what is important, why, and in what order you probably want to acquire them. I can't recommend his videos enough. It begins here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuYV_2osGVc&list=PLndZCTFzg3jKODNKcC_pyjo5Q_7CjN0eO


In fact, here's a summary video that is probably made just for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5bdWsVSZbA
