4.0 out of 5 stars
Great, as far as it goes,
By Stan Modjesky (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pocket Knife Price Guide (Paperback)
The book comprises reproductions of catalogue pages from a number of manufacturers, followed by several pages of price guide information, keyed to the original catalogues. The Keen Kutter information is especially interesting, as it includes the "how they are made" pages reproduced from an old catalogue.The book's greatest drawback is that the author provides no explanation how the "price guide" prices were derived. Without knowing whether the prices are based upon catalogue (asking) prices for collectible knives, auction results (realized prices), systematic shopping of shows and antiques shops, a formula, or simply the writer's opinion, a user cannot intelligently use the price guide. A brief note in front of the book explains that prices represent knives in "good condition," not unused and unsharpened knives (considered to be the most valuable), but there is no definition of the grade "good." Worth the price, for the old catalog information, a great aid in identifying and dating knives. |
