DescriptionFollowing trends in knives toward, lighter, faster, sleeker folders, and more user-freiendly, mid-sized fixed blades and utilitarian cutters and choppers, KNIVES 2017 will feature such pieces designed for police, firemen and EMTs. Another copiously-illustrated article explains how knife enthusiasts can tweak, adjust and fine-tune their own LinerLocks on folding knives and the frame locks of "flipper folders." Knifemakers will enjoy such stories as "Taking Your Knifemaking Passion to the Next Level," and "Building Your Own Smelter," while historians and general enthusiasts can delve into "Blades in Old Norse/Old English Mythology" and "Kantou: Appreciation of Japanese Swords." Bowies and forged knives will be covered, as will trends toward natural, exotic and space age materials and the state of the art in carving, engraving, scrimshaw, sculpting, jewel and wire inlay and lost-wax casting.
