SynopsisContemporary knifemakers are far more daring than their counterparts from as recently as a generation ago: they've become masters of new techniques and technologies, experts in reinterpreting form and function to create sculptural works of art. Flip through this amazing on-the-page gallery, and you'll discover a dizzying array of styles, from ones that demonstrate simple elegance to others that feature over-the-top embellishment. The collection includes daggers, kitchen knives, hunting knives, combat and folding knives, switchblades, multi-blades, swords, axes, tomahawks, and even a pistol-knife--all honed with fine creative vision.The international roster of artists includes: Don Hanson - Tim Hancock - Rebecca Sheer - Chantal Gilbert - Anders Hogstrom - Vince Evans - Frankie Flood - Johan Gustafsson - Allen Elishewitz - Jot Singh Khalsa - Wendy Yothers - and more, Contemporary knifemakers are far more daring than their counterparts from as recently as a generation ago: they've become masters of new techniques and technologies, experts in reinterpreting form and function to create sculptural works of art.

Beautiful Coffee Table Book
Many beautiful pix of many beautiful 'sculptures', many of which are knives. Many are works of art but will never cut anything, while others are so damned frilly that no one would ever think of cutting anything with it! Outrageously expensive frills! Diamonds and gold don't make a knife cut any better! If it don't cut, and well, it doesn't belong in a knife book, an art book, perhaps. Nice page flipper exhibiting some great talent, some of it knife-making talent. *__-Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Exactly as it says...500 knives....of amazing designs and craftsmanship.
We had seen this book previously as a coffee table book in an Airbnb and just had to have a copy. Not the sort of book you might think would capture the imagination but it did and now we have a copy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
