Re: New knife book
Thanks Jerry,
Glad you liked it. I don’t have the hard copies yet but will soon. The hard copies are available on line though right now. If you want a hard copy I can be sure you get one. They are $40.00 as opposed to the $30.00 paperback version I have in stock at present. Just let me know and thanks for all that you contribute to AAPK. It is invaluable

Re: New knife book
I got my "Old Knives,XX, And More " today. A great read with lots of good info about the tumultuous early days of the Case dynasty. By far the stars of the book are the great color photos of many of these old surviving knives. This will be a great reference for those who wish to dip their toes in that early Case pond.
Excellent job Tom!

Re: New knife book
After nine days, I finally received my copy of "Old Knives, XX, And More" from Amazon. Not available for 2 day "Prime" shipment. So it came UPS Pony Express.
Excellent book Tom, thank you for your research and putting a much needed Case missing link in my library. It sits proudly right next to "Steve Pfeiffer"s" Case Knives 2nd edition.

Re: New knife book
I ordered mine at the first of the week and it has been delivered. The problem is that I'm in the Ozarks, so I will be glad to read it when I get home next week.
