Full color, high resolution photograph Art Knife Book


Art and Design in Modern
Custom Folding Knives

This is the collaboration of work between 22 of the most respected Knife makers and Engravers from around the world.  The book was written by the artists themselves and edited by Bud Lang.  The book was put together by the art knife collector David Darom.  David Darom is a Marine Biologist and Nature Photographer living and working from Jerusalem Israel.  Be sure to check out his site and amazing Marine and Nature photography www.David-Darom.com

This exciting new book is not only a high quality Art Book including full page high resolution photographs, but each of the artists has included a sequence of steps to some part of making or engraving their featured art knife for the book.  For instance, knife maker Tim Herman discloses his highly sought after "color engraving" techniques in his section and knife maker Fred Carter illustrated the sequence on how he overlays gold for a dragonfly on his exquisite featured folding art knife.
