+1 for Dan Comeau's site - a ton of patterns, including kitchen knives. A lot of good, basic designs for a beginner like myself. He provides multiple sizes of the same pattern which is very useful when trying to fit something to your available steel stock. Finally, plan to spend some time reading through his blog where he takes you step by step through his process from initial layout all the way through finishing.
A great resource, IMNSHO.
