2.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended., July 31, 2005
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another good book for beginning knive collectors, July 24, 1999
One of three knife collector books I have purchased from amazon.com. A good price guide for Case, Cattaraugus, Ka-Bar, Remington, Robeson, Schrade, Winchester, and others. Also good commemorative/limited ed price guide.
