Well this is neat. One of my knives is front and center on the cover of @nick.digiovanni ‘s brand new cookbook, titled Knife Drop. He commissioned the piece custom for the occasion, with a bold low layer damascus blade to show up on camera. Word has it @gordongram wrote the foreword for the book as well. Thanks Nick! #knifedrop #foodgram #cooking #customknife
