3.0 out of 5 stars A decent starter book regarding pocket knives, June 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Identifying Pocket Knives (Identifying Guide) (Hardcover)

The book offers a lot of useful info such as the origin of pocketknives, how to identifiy some of them and how to identify some counterfeit knives. At 80 pages it's a good start but not a compete index. My particular favorite parts of the book are Mr Levine's insets that offer some interesting info. For example I did not know that WWII ear Nazi knives did not include pocket knives, only fix blade daggers but the many pocket knives sold at knife and gun shows are well done fakes that were made in the US. I think this book would complement any knife collectors library. Some of the examples of the knives discussed are rare and the photos are excellent.

I am completely satisfied with this item. The item was as described and I received great customer service. Informative information from an expert that I have been able to use in collecting vintage pocket knives.
