A Classic Work Which Deserves Its Status
|
|
This book is a true guide for a wide range of collectors, and would be collectors. I am impressed with its layout, which facilitates the very dense amount of knowledge being offered by Mr. Levine. Seldom have I seen a book of over 500 pages that actually seems to convey more information than its page count would suggest. In other words, if you are really interested in knives at all you ought to own this well crafted book. Why not all 5 stars? My only real criticisms are that some of the graphics should be better and the paper used is poor, (perhaps these two items are related). Anyway, great book, buy it, you will never regret it.

Good reference that could be better
|

As a beginning knife collector/seller I purchased this book to be a reference/price guide for particular brands/makes of knives, i.e. Case XX USA R5347D 1996 should be worth $X.00. It does this for knife club knives only. HOWEVER, it is as EXCELLENT source for knife history.

This is "THE" one resource guide ALL collectors should have!

When researching knives and their values this is considered "THE" resource guide by most all collectors. I use it and highly recomend it. The amount of information is incredible and the in depth articals not only show you the values but also explain why they are worth what is shown. Best Regards, Mike Turber Owner BladeForums.com
