Media Japanese Knife Book

[JGarrison]

Any recommendations on a book that explains Japanese terms and nomenclature of Japanese style knives?

Haven't read this but stumbled upon it browsing their site. It could be sacrilegious for all I know. Maybe anyone has some feedback on it?

The Knifenerd Guide is an interesting read. Definitely explains the various types of Japanese knives, has a lot on forging techniques, some info on sharpening, and a small biography of a whole bunch of Japanese knife smiths, mostly from the Takefu region. The photography is excellent!

Thanks for the suggestions.

I am fairly new to Japanese knifes and sharpening. I bought this book a month or so ago and quickly read it cover to cover. If you have a lot of knowledge about knives and knife makers, you may not get as much out of it as I did. But I loved it and have referenced it a few times when looking at my next knife purchases.
