Explore handle decorating techniques that include engraving, etching, inlay, scrimshaw, and coloring. Once knives have been carefully studied, sheath manufacturing techniques using leather are also discussed. Finally, instructions are given to readers who wish to make their own knives. Collectors and all who appreciate the fine art of penknife making will treasure this book.
