Military knife book

Post by CarMan »

Anyone willing to let me know if this book is good or not? I’m just getting started on military knives & looking for a good reference book. I found this one used but haven’t gotten it yet. These reference books seem pricey. Thanks

Knowledge is power, books are not expensive since they can prevent you from spending a lot on a fake. Yes, there are lots of repros and fakes of American and other military knives. I have at least five books on American and British military knives. Yes, a couple hundred dollars worth, but I have found quite a few knives I would not have known what they were or their scarcity had I not studied the books. Also Frank Trzaska (the leading expert on WW2 American military knives) has a website with lots of good info.

Buying a book, even if it's used, can be a great investment in your hobby. These guides will help you distinguish between fakes and reproductions, which is important in order to avoid possible deceptions. It is important to remember that knowledge is the key to successfully collecting historical knives, especially in the context of the American and British military during World War II. Now I started reading less about knives, I started studying more. I found a way out like a compare and contrast essay, assignment, I use a really good guide https://papersowl.com/blog/how-to-write-a-comparison-essay for this. From this I will conclude that there is a way out of any situation, the main thing is to want it. Now I will have a lot more free time to read and study knives.
Sorry this book
Having experience collecting military knives myself, I can attest that Frank Trzaski's books are truly valuable and informative. Their cost is justified by the abundance of useful information they provide.
