Excellent Book, Superb Information!,
This review is from: Daggers and Fighting Knives of the Western World (Paperback)
I must say, this book is excellent. The text, the information, the pictures, the layout, everything. For anyone interested in the history of knives, steelwork, weaponry, and Western history, this book is a must. Dover's edition is fantastically well put together.
