I am the editor of an anthology centered around the theme of “Next Level Knifemaking.” We currently have 13 chapters and a publishing contract in hand, and are looking for more material.

I am seeking chapters, articles, or essays for inclusion in this project. Most of the existing chapters are between 3000 and 5000 words. I will assist you in editing the chapter prior to publication, and you will have approval of changes.

If you have a good blog, forum post, or previously published piece, that material may be adapted. These submissions do not have to be new original compositions, provided we can secure permission to publish.

This is an opportunity to have your work published in a book that will be distributed worldwide and available on Amazon. Your work will be associated with the work of many other well-known people in the knife industry, including Brad Stallsmith, Jim Cooper, Bob Ohlemann, Ed Braun, John Gulso, Shanna Jantz Kemp, Mark Bartlett, Salem Straub, Nathan Carothers, Erin Healy, and Joshua Swanagon.

If you have questions or want details, or if you know you want to participate, send me an email at frycustomknives@gmail.com

Thanks,
Jason Fry
 
Already used Brad for a chapter on heat treating?
 
Drop me an email, Larrin. Within the existing material there's room for some of the kind of stuff you write.
 
I think I’ll try to come up with something. Probably along the lines of starting as a new maker, and the learning process and testing required to make a really good performing knife. (Don’t reinvent the wheel, and get the heat treat and geometry right.) I could discuss the learning from several failures along the way.
 
Just curious-
Is there any interest in tips/techniques for making miniature knives? No problem if it wouldn't fit in with the theme.
 
Miniatures could be interesting. Shoot me an email.
 
I already have a couple of similar chapters, Willie.

It has crossed my mind, but I don’t have anybody yet. Send me an email, maybe we can work something out.
 
I wrote an article for our guild newsletter on making a pouch sheath for the JS knife of the year auction. And another one on hand sanding that is quite a few years old now.
