We were up in Lumberland this past fall when our good friend Tom Bonamici (of Archival Clothing) drew a blade of such exquisite beauty that we had to know who made it, where he got it. Well it turns out Tom made it himself and ever since that revelatory day we've been dreaming and scheming of how to fashion our own knives. What appeals to us about making our own knives is that they are relatively easy and simple to make (You Can Do It!), and as the author claims: "When you have made a knife yourself and have shaped the blade just the way you want it and the handle is made to fit your own hand, a special relationship develops between you and that tool." David Boye is regarded as one of the preeminent knife makers in the world today and this book leaves no stone unturned: thorough, cogent and inspiring.
