Those of you who have seen the book Art and Design In Custom Folding Knives, by Dr. David Darom, know that it is a spectacular volume containing superb photos of the very best of the best.
His new book, focused on straight knives of the same caliber, will be released soon. I am pleased to post the following on Davids behalf:
I have produced a superlative new book on FIXED-BLADE ART KNIVES that virtually outclasses any other knife book. For 18 months this book has been in its gestation period. On March 4th this compilation of the worlds best knife makers will be introduced at the New York ECCKS but will be available through the USA distributor in February 2005 for pre-orders. The breathtaking photography portrays over four hundred of the finest knives produced by this elite gathering of 50 of the worlds top makers, with the stories on making their knives shown in the book and about their makers themselves. Of these, 26 were chosen to be Featured Artists, their art presented on eight page sections. 275 pages in full color, printed on superb art paper, hard cover and laminated dust jacket.
Featured Artists (8 pages each):
Van Barnett; Charlie Bennica; Roger Bergh; Arpad Bojtos; David Broadwell; Dr. Fred Carter; Edmund Davidson; Jose de Braga; Jim Ence; Jerry Fisk; Larry Fuegen; Chantal Gilbert; Tim Hancock; Gil Hibben; D'Alton Holder; Paul M. Jarvis; John L. Jensen; S. R. Johnson; Dietmar Kressler; Francesco Pachi; Conny Persson; Pierre Reverdy; Scott Slobodian; Dwight L. Towell; Buster Warenski; Yoshindo Yoshihara.
The introduction will have several heavily illustrated sections:
- Preface

- Lloyd Hale, A Pioneer of the Art Knife Movement (by Ed Wormser)
- San Francisco Knives (by Phil Lobred)
- The Collaboration Knives of Jim Kelso (by Dr. Larry Marton)
- Classic Themes in Modern Custom Art Knives (by Don Guild)
- The Elements of Blade Steel (by: Deryk Munroe)
