This exciting new book is not only a high
quality Art Book including full page high resolution photographs, but
each of the artists has included a sequence of steps to some part of
making or engraving their featured art knife for the book. For
instance, knife maker Tim Herman discloses his highly sought after
"color engraving" techniques in his section and knife maker Fred Carter
illustrated the sequence on how he overlays gold for a dragonfly on his
exquisite featured folding art knife.
