4.0 out of 5 stars Knives 2000...An Improvement Over Last Years Issue!, November 27, 1999

Knives 2000 is definitely better than last years issue. The first improvement is a cross reference index so you can find out what page the picture is on for the maker you are looking up. For example, I was looking up Canadian knife maker Matt Harildstad since I really like his work. The index showed a reference to page 86 of his drop point hunter. I am glad Ken did this for this years issue.

Other improvements is a section on sheaths, engraving and scrimshaw. Therer are some excellent articles this year by some very well known members of the knife community to include: *Bernard Levine *Bruce Voyles *Ken Warner (the author) *Butch Winter (excellent article about owning a counterfeit knife that may not be counterfeit) Also included is a section on knife trends, state of the art knives, factory trends and of course my favorite part; The Directory of literally hundreds of makers. The directory alone complete with addresses, phone numbers and price ranges is well worth the cost of the book.

I'm glad to see the new issue out. This is a must for any knife collector/user's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knives 2000 does it again!, December 17, 1999

This review is from: Knives 2000 (Paperback)

Ken Warner is up to his usual high quality pulling together of fascinating articles and photos of the world of knives. It is a delight to anticipate opening the covers of the book each year.

Of course I'm a little prejudiced as he saw fit to include an article by me, and to my amazement the book is a well done accomplishment in spite of my being included. Seriously, if you do not have this book and have an interest in handmade knives it is a must-read. You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Husbands Knife Bible!, December 2, 2000

By

This review is from: Knives 2000 (Paperback)

I bought it as a gift for my husband and he loves it. It has every knife imaginable in it. He hasn't put it away yet and he has had it for 6 months! Gives you values of knives. Good for someone who likes to collect knives and maybe just starting out as well.
