2.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended., July 31, 2005
This review is from: The Official Price Guide to Collector Knives, 14th edition (Paperback)
If it wasn't for Case knives it wouldn't be much of a book.
There is some good basic information, about the same as included
in most knife books. Many many knife makers are not mentioned.
I purchase reference books on all my interest and with few
exceptions these books list a great percentage of the total
industry, not just a few as this book does. It sure could have
been better described.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference among so few, January 25, 2007
This review is from: The Official Price Guide to Collector Knives, 14th edition (Paperback)
A lot of good information in this book from Mr. Price!
I would have liked to see more info on obscure knives but I also understand there are only so many pages in the book(750 or so), what info is found between the pages is detailed and accurate.
A definite worthy addition to anyones library that collects knives.

2.0 out of 5 stars dont buy this book.....buy POCKET KNIFE TRADER'S PRICE GUIDE VOLUME 8, May 25, 2007
By 
This review is from: The Official Price Guide to Collector Knives, 14th edition (Paperback)
Well its a typical price guide. The values in it are way overinflated and none of the knives actually bring that much money. It is also missing prices for several highly collectible knives.
The Case XX section of this book is kinda difficult to find what you are looking for.
If you are thinking of buying this book then dont, I would recommend POCKET KNIFE TRADER'S PRICE GUIDE VOLUME 8 it is much easier to figure out and has actual prices and it is cheaper. It is also fresh off the presses and is written by a group of people who are directly involved with Case and Tony Foster who knows everything about knives.
