5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, again, March 9, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Custom Fixed-Blade Knives (Hardcover)
As my previous review on the similar book of the same author (Custom Folding Knives, by David Darom ), this books keeps up with the standard. An excellent value for money and a must have book for serious knives collectors. Very nice pictures, bios of knife makers, articles. A cood balance between pictures and text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Inspiration!, December 6, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Custom Fixed-Blade Knives (Hardcover)
This book is full of nice rich large color photos. They show every detail of the carvings, engravings and wood grains, etc. It gives the average knife maker a lot of inspiration, and ideas! It also shows some of the makers doing their craft.
