About the book >.>.> Such developments make knifemakers and knives seem all that much more real. Technical ad- vancements in knives are palpable measurable and dimensionally sound. Some knives are sculpted to fit the hand others guarded to protect it. Many modern pieces are tactical or built for soldiers protecting our land country people and way of life. Hunters take blade bellies to breast briskets and the wind whistles through the tree branches as they competently com- plete their work. Mammoth molars make for nice grips. Coral is a colorful addition and gold rubies and tourmalines look so sexy inlaid into bolsters handles guards spacers and spines. File work is always a fan favorite and some knives have the ability to transport you across the globe to different lands cultures people and places. Damascus dazzles while mosaic damascus provides picture-perfect alloy alignment. Like thoroughbred racehorses the lineage of many knives and swords can be traced back to their roots through time and history to original makers and methods of making. The country of origin is evident in some patterns and obscure or hidden in others. There is exotic allure and mystery. Some are sinister their bloody backgrounds barely hidden. (SP)
