It’s okay to go ahead and use the b-word when paging through Art of the Knife. What’s the b-word you ask? Beautiful. It’s okay to call any one of these fantastic knives that tugs at your heartstrings beautiful. Call them gorgeous, or heart-stopping, splendid, or pretty--we don’t mind and we won’t tell. It’s not a breach of the man-code, either, for those of you who rigidly adhere to the code. 

So go ahead. Settle back in your easy chair for a colorful journey to the heart of today’s best knives. This book is a visual feast for anyone who loves blades. It gathers the best work of today’s knife craftsmen in sharp color photography that reveals every detail of blade and handle. There are knives here for every taste, whether you carry one for everyday use or just collect them.

These are the best of the best—sculpted, intricate scrimshaw designs, precious stones, daring inlays, carving and etching.  You’ll find handles equal in style and intricacy, made from pearl, ivory, mammoth tooth, Damascus, silver wire and exotic woods. 

You’ll find yourself inspired, amazed and delighted by the breadth of styles and maybe you’ll even be inspired to make your own.  Buy Art of the Knife today, you’re going to love what you see!
