I got my copy last Wednesday. I have really enjoyed it. There is some excellent information like, "If you can smell it you are breathing it".
The knife pictures are incredible. In my opinion, the book is well worth the cost.
 
Yeah, mine finally emerged from a USPS black hole this week.
I like that it's compact enough to read in bed. I got some of the big hard cover Darom books recently and I pretty much have to sit at a desk with those.
 
I was honored to have one of my knives in there. Great book!
 
Anybody else have feedback to share? What's your favorite tip?
 
#282 matches some of my recent thoughts.
There are lots of great ones.
I like that I can open the book anywhere for just a couple minutes.
 
I really think tip #61 is very important. I get so many people coming through my shop to build knives and I’m always after them to write down blade, bolster, handle and pin material. Frustrating not knowing what steel someone used when it comes to heat treat time.
Great book Jason.
