Introduces
the reader to the art of custom fixed-blade knives, the author has
chosen to feature 26 world class knifemakers - each with their own
individual look and feel. In addition to the high quality illustration
(one can almost reach out and touch the knives), the author presents
comprehensive background texts, detailed descriptions of all the knives
and an insight into "behind the scenes" of custom knifemaking. Working
with a variety of preferences, including visual originality and stylistic
diversity, Dr. Darom reaches out to both the veterans of the field
and the newest inductees, forging a stunning and fascinating appreciation
for the work at hand.
