With another Blade Show in the history books and summer winding down, chances are you’ll have more time to devote to your interest in knives. Conventions and shows are a great opportunity to get out and spend time with others who share our passion for knives. We come home fired up, some of us ready to make our first knife, others inspired by designs and still others looking to expand their collection. However, that inspiration to collect and/or create can sometimes start to fade.

Do you need something to help rekindle your enthusiasm for knives?

If you find you’re in need of inspiration, look no further than the newly-released Knives 2009 where there’s plenty to go around.

For 29 editions Knives has given you the best that the craft of knifemaking has to offer. And readers, whether they make knives or just enjoy the hobby of collecting, have often viewed Knives much the way kids thought of the holiday Sears or Montgomery Wards catalogs year ago—a wish book filled with dreams and great ideas.

The new edition of Knives 2009 is no exception. It delivers in every sense of the word with 1,000 crisply-detailed photos of the best knives around, industry news and trends, and an up-to-date list of custom knife makers, knife associations, importers, and suppliers. From articles about Confederate swords to Mongolian dining knives to the latest and greatest tactical knives, you’ll find the best in knife writing and research at your fingertips.
