You are good!
This will be quite interesting as there are over 520 knives
on display in my book made by 127 different knifemakers....
All the best,

Yes he is good, but does he know who the collector is
David, I truly believe that a few people here are able to identify all 127 makers given time and opportunity. I'm not saying I can (far from it) but I'm convinced that some other guys here can.

I easily got the first batch. Even knew who was throwing sparks, immediately. Allen gave me pause, but his lock gave it away.
Keep them coming.

Thanks, Lorien, this will be my first Darom book. Hope I can get it signed by some of the authors! The work you did on that Foster knife turned out really well, looks like a great utility knife... :thumbup:

I love looking through David's books with my five-ish year old daughter.
She's gotten really good at differentiating black lip from gold lip and can spot tortoise shell at a glance and is almost always right when it comes to stag.
Unfortunately, one of the outcomes of sharing your hobby with your child is the inevitability of stuff getting wrecked. It is important to breathe deeply and count to ten, remembering that things are just things and that family time trumps one's individual desire to maintain one's stuff.
Alas, my new book received its first damage, and I have reconciled myself to the fact that it will never look new again. That's ok! The important thing is that my kid loves it and felt bad about what happened because she was sad that the book was torn, not because I was upset, which I wasn't. I happen to wreck my stuff all the time.
Here's some more of David's pictures. Please note the sunny smile on Steven Garsson's face! Just makes you want to buy the guy a beer.
I happen to have a thing for Italian design. I was very happy to see such a great section of this book devoted to Italian knife makers. Pierluigi Peroni must be quite a hero in the Italian knife making world, but he should also be a hero to the rest of us because, as a collector, he has managed to bring Italian made knives to the world. Elevating his countrymen, and the rest of us by exposing us to their work.
More to come soon!

as I was gazing again through the book this evening, it struck me how clear and perfect the images in it are. Especially compared to a computer screen.
Any guesses as to who and what was pictured in my last post?

I think that Lorien was referring with the above crop to one of
the pages that comes after these two....
From the amazing collection of Dr. Pierluigi Peroni of Italy
All the best,

Here is a nice crop of crops! I love being a photo farmer!
the rawhide tanto that Tim Hancock made has got to be one of the coolest knives I've laid eyes upon. Keep in mind, of course, that the photos in the book are WAY better than the ones you'll see here.
