Howdy, folks. I'm happy to announce the availability of my new book, Knifemaking Hacks: 384 tips to make knives like the pros. Published by our friends at BLADE magazine, this book contains a wide variety of short tips and tricks on all parts of knifemaking. It also includes over 100 full color professional photos of some of the best knives in the world by makers you'll certainly know, and some you won't. Autographed copies are available through my website, www.frycustomknives.com/my-books The book is available at Jantz and the Gun Digest web store as well. If you are interested in distribution or resale, let me know.
What a great project! The 'quick and useful' format will make it more usable. Folks will be more likely to read if there isn't a drawn out time committment. Glad to be a part of this for my MANY clients and especially for the viewers. They will see examples and be impressed.
I just ordered mine. I can't wait to skim through this and then have my next project mistaken for a piece by Bruce Bump!
#metoo lol. Bruce is one of only two folks who have three works featured. Some of us are old enough to remember his absolutely EPIC work in progress threads from the earlier days of the internet. Much respect!
These have been selling very well. Sold through my initial order, and just got the backordered ones sent out today. In stock with more on the way. FWIW, since I got these pics from the photographers, many makers are surprised to find they're included. Right Karl Andersen, lol?
Just ordered mine... I’m not a maker but perhaps this will help me become more knowledgeable about what I am buying... cheers/bg
Maybe you'll appreciate #73 "At some level you don't sell knives, you sell pictures of knives..." I guess Coop might appreciate that one also.
I put one of yours in there, Mark. I don't have a copy in front of me at the moment, but I'll post a pic of your page perhaps later this evening.
That's a very nice surprise Jason. We were going to order one any way but post a picture if you like. I'm curious to see which one you picked. Also, If you like I'll sign a copy for you on my page and send it back. Wouldn't it be cool if you got all of the makers to sign your copy? I think I'll bring my copy to the next Blade show, if we ever have another Blade show, and get as many autographs as I can too. I think Angel just ordered one.
Congratulations! I recently heard about this book, my friend praised it and said that he wanted to buy it.
Of course I do. As Snody would say: "Real talk." Reread my education in the link in my signature below (Post 815). This book is a treasure trove of valuable QUICK and lasting advice, with just enough visuals to slap you upside the head. Thank you Jason!
