This a great book on the art of making knifes. I'm an artist who works with welded steel and edged weapons to create my sculptures. I enjoyed seeing all of the techniques that these artists used. The author did an excellent job researching knife artists. The explanations of how they work and their finished creations was impressive.Recommended for artist and craftsmen 100%. Also for the connoisseur of knives.

In one simple book, a magnificent and rich look on the art of knife making with hundreds of pictures and explanations. A journey with many of the best knifemakers who each show individually the making of a custom knife from A to Z. Many techniques are illustrated to give a broad view of this art. A magnificent book which is incredible cheap for the documentary value. A must have book along with the other books by David Darom.

This book was chosen for my husband, a hobby knife-maker. He enjoyed the variety shown and even picked up on a few inspirations. It's getting harder to find good knife books, but he liked this one because of the great style variations.

No matter what your skill level is with metal and tooling, if this book doesn't inspire you to get off your A** and get busy making the best knife you can, nothing will ! Most of the knives in this book are too fancy to ever use and would end up being stored, but that is just my opinion. Maybe rich peeps actually use these knives for everyday Hunting and Fishing?? If you are a beginner, trust me, your first knife will Not turn out like the ones in this book except in your eyes it will be a thing of beauty...

This book not only has excellent photography of some of the highest quality customs knives around, but it also gives the reader a great background on the processes and materials used to create these masterpieces of steel. I highly recommend this book for knife makers (experienced and novice), collectors, and anyone interested in knives.

This is a great book. If you make knives, it is even better.

Thanks David
