The KNIFE ART of a LEGEND

Dear mister Daron and other firends, I really appreciate You shared these pictures, James Schmidt is my favourite knifemaker and I searched photographs of his knives for long time... unfortunately I didn't know any REAL knife collector so I have to be happy only with pictures---:grumpy:
I think I will buy your books because it is a good chance to know real knifemaking art.

Thanks a lot

Francesco (a begineer knifemaker)
 
Welcome, Francesco!

I think you will enjoy my books as they will open you
to the different aspects of modern custom knife art, with
much in-depth valuable information in addition to the
illustrations...

All the best,
David Darom (ddd)

James Schmidt Is my favourite knifemaker at all. Any particular in his work is studied and calculated to make an artistic effectin its whole structure, resulting a really work of art. He left a huge footprint in modern custom knifemaking and anyone of us should thank him and remember. This is the reason i'm trying to make a reproduction (not a copy) of one of his masterpieces for my collection... but now, with all these new (for me)pictures I'm not sure about the model I will reproduce...

Thanks a lot for your sharing

Francesco
