Needs help on knife collector books.
I need to get more and better pocket knife collector books, I now have American Premium Guide to Knives and Razors and The standard Knife collectors guide. They pretty much have the Case, Winchester, Remington and some less seen knives. I guess I would like to find one that expands on other brands better. Less chance of getting burned. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Re: Needs help on knife collector books.
Last night I was having a good time with this one:
Pat Farey
Knives
An illustrated encyclopedia of knives for fighting, hunting and survival
Not a collector's book like Levine's great guide, more of a coffee table book, but I have enjoyed my copy a lot. Many pictures of knives from the very old to modern and from different parts of the world.
From the introduction:
No matter how your time is spent, how you earn your living or what sports or hobbies you participate in, it's almost certain that at some point in the day you will have to use a knife. It may be buttering a piece of toast at home, sharpening a pencil in the workshop, cutting through ropes or other materials in the field, pruning plants in the garden, opening a letter at the office, cleaning a fish by the river, cutting up cardboard boxes at a store…the list is endless. Even in this high tech world a knife is still one of man's most important tools…
Amen!

Re: Needs help on knife collector books.
I started with "The standard knife collectors guide",but found it to be the CASE collectors guide as are many others.I went looking on Amazon.com and found C.Houston Price's"Official price guide to collectors knives",14th ed.Cost about $17.50 with shipping but well worth it because of the more complete listings and pictures of most of the brands.The section on collectability of different brands is very concise and easy to use(*-****).
