I wanted a book to help me identify a bunch of pocket knives I had acquired and what they might be worth. This book helped me do that quite easily and I would recommend it to anyone with similar goals. "The standard knife collectors guide" by Ritchie and Stewart was also of equal value.
I would have liked to have seen more color photos and fewer copier quality pictures but the process was good enough to do what I needed. This book made it easier to discern differences among similar knives because of the detail that was included in knife types. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-07-04 23:10:23 EST)

Well its a typical price guide. The values in it are way overinflated and none of the knives actually bring that much money. It is also missing prices for several highly collectible knives.
The Case XX section of this book is kinda difficult to find what you are looking for. If you are thinking of buying this book then dont, I would recommend POCKET KNIFE TRADER'S PRICE GUIDE VOLUME 8 it is much easier to figure out and has actual prices and it is cheaper. It is also fresh off the presses and is written by a group of people who are directly involved with Case and Tony Foster who knows everything about knives.

A lot of good information in this book from Mr. Price!
I would have liked to see more info on obscure knives but I also understand there are only so many pages in the book(750 or so), what info is found between the pages is detailed and accurate. A definite worthy addition to anyones library that collects knives. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-07-11 07:11:21 EST)

If it wasn't for Case knives it wouldn't be much of a book.
There is some good basic information, about the same as included in most knife books. Many many knife makers are not mentioned. I purchase reference books on all my interest and with few exceptions these books list a great percentage of the total industry, not just a few as this book does. It sure could have been better described. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-07-11 07:11:21 EST)

The author did a great job explaining this! His books are always great! His first book helped me begin my knife collecting hobby. A lot of time and effort went into this, obviously! Check out his web site, knifeworld.com, and subscribe today!

Though I was a little disappointed by the photo quality the text is very well done and I was able to use this book several times during research projects when quite frankly, no other book had the info I was looking for. The book is easy to use, quite informative and well worth the price you can get it for through Amazon. I think there is a place for this book in any knife collectors library.
