Has anyone heard anything about the coffee table book being produced by Krause Publications about custom knives?

I have heard about it as I remember makers were submitting knife photos for the book about this time last year. Should be nearing publication time.
I had forgotten about it.

Sure, I got the flyer advertising it, and Knives 2008 from Krause publications. Looks REALLY good, and Joe Kertzman is a great editor for this.
I checked and pre-ordered BOTH of them through Amazon. (Price was about 30% less....!)
I have a few entries but not all that many. Looking forward to the book. At the price it's a great value!

I received the flyer, too. It says the 'Art of the Knife' will feature 150 makers and showcase over 325 color photos.
Thanks for the heads-up on Amazon, Coop. Will have to check that out.

The deadline for submissions to Knives Annual 2008 was Dec 31st, 2006 
. This year they are saving money and having the printing done overseas (no surprise, eh?). That said, the publication needed to be finished with that much more lead time.
All images I have been submitting from January-on have been slated for Knives 2009. Since the old deadline was around May 31st, Knives 2008 will have a span of about 7 mos of new knives. For those who had work done it that period, it bodes well for you.
I'll bet the quality of the printing is going to be impressive also. I just purchased a signed copy of Scott Slobodian's book: Sword Art, and the quality of the images is humbling, and the quality of the printing (done in China) had Scott raving accolades.
After looking and reading that book, I have substantially more appreciation for his style of photography and the Japanese cutlery. :thumbup: What skill!
There are quite a few great coffee-table books available for our craft. Mostest Excellente!
