I know from time to time people ask for these books. This is a harder book to find than the Ben Kelley book.

Knife repair book

Men make plans and God laughs
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

Re: Knife repair book
And now he tells us! 
That is actually the first time I have seen that book for sale anywhere. When Bob posted it I read the text he wrote rather quickly and thought he said it was Ben Kelly's book. I just happen to be on my computer and clicked on eBay and it told me it had three minutes left. I went back and looked at it and realized it was not Ben Kelly's book but Blackie Collins' book! Blackie Collins has a Northwest connection with Gerber. He designed several knives for Gerber and I think he even collaborated with Al Mar on a knife or two.
I realize I probably overpaid for the book given its condition, but I had never seen one in any condition before. It also has an interview ended with Felix Mirando of Imperial.
I was very pleased to win the auction, I will be even more pleased when they get the book in my hot little hand!
