interesting David -- I tried a few weeks ago to order from Tim but the book page was not up and now I get an invalid request relating to domain name. Is Tim just updating the site or is there a new url to look for and do you have it?

Murray, I spoke with Tim about this. It is a temporary problem
with his email that will soon be fixed.... Thanks!

All the best,

I'd better get started on building another book shelf.
I look forward to spending time with your book and the artistry I would have otherwise missed.
Thank you, David

Greetings to all,
I am very fortunate to be the first person in the world to receive a copy of David’s new book “The World Of Art Knives”. I will be representing David as the main distributor of this new book.
It is a magnificent book! David has really melded the connection of collectors and maker that is such an important part of our knife world. As in all of Davids books the photographs are superb.The interesting details about the knives,the makers and the collectors will keep you reading for a long time. No other art form that I am aware of has such a personal connection as our industry does.I am so happy to see that that very point shines through in the way that David so cleverly choreographed the book!
My congratulations to David as well as everyone else that contributed to the completion of yet another historical book that will go far beyond our lives in exposing this wonderful art form.
I am taking pre-orders for the book now. Please email me to make sure you don’t miss out on receiving your copy or copies!
There will be a serial numbered set from 20-100 as well as the standard priced book.
I will soon be posting the prices very soon, which by the way are very reasonable for such a book as this! The books will be shipped out to those who pre-order as soon as I have them in my hands.
The official unveiling of the book will be at The Blade Show. David will be at my table ready to sign them for you if you purchase one there.
For book orders contact me at westernbladesmith@gmail.com I will make note of what you would like and contact you when I’m ready to start sending them out.

I also have some of the my books available for immediate delivery. “Tim Hancock The Western Bladesmith “ another one of Davids creations!


Best regards,

Tim Hancock

Certainly another must have! You guys who haven't seen Davids books need to do so.
David, just wondering what the sales numbers are on the previous books.

Come to the BLADE Show and we can talk about anything
concerning sales, translations (5 additional languages so far), etc.

All the best,

Here is the Title Page of the book.

Maybe I shall re-display some facing-page spreads as
reminder-teasers, even though I think that I have shown
these sample pages before... :) ...

All the best,
David Darom (ddd)


The Title Page picture is “David’s Fighter” #2 of 2 (2009), by Steve R. Johnson.
Engraving and gold inlays by Barry Lee Hands , using for the first time ever his
new and unique engraving and “Gilded Pearl“ technique on both sides of the
premium Mother-of-Pearl handle.
