 Art of the Knife by Joe KertzmanWe here at KnifeArt.com are thrilled to see more books devoted to the art of custom knife making. Books like this one can bring new people into the hobby of knife collecting and knifemaking. Additionally, upscale books add to the legitimacy of custom knives as high end investment art - with a strong link to a functional tool. No book on custom knives would be sufficient with out high-end photography and printing - 'Art of the Knife' does not dissapoint in that area. The large book is printed in full color with over 350 pictures and at a length of 250+ pages. The hard bound book is authored by Joe Kertzman, a former editor of Blade Magazine.
from KnifeWorld:
Here's a classy new hardcover, coffee-table style book filled with gorgeous photos of modern handmade knives, and at a reasonable price!

In addition to photos, each knife is accompanied by a basic explanation of the materials and general techniques used to create it.
Ths is more than just a photo album – it's a source of inspiration for knifemakers, an introduction to the amazing world of custom knives for neophytes, and a complete pleasure for the collector to browse through.
