Good looking book. Something in hand, like that, I find much more satisfying than an internet search.

@Pocket_EDC I have downloaded a lot of catalogs of line. Sometimes, they are excerpts of catalogs. That Shapleigh catalog has the clearest, longest listing of empire knives I've seen. That was worth the whole book.

Did they ever make a knife Bible like the Gun Bible?😊
@rasputinscastle2 ай бұрын
@@jamesluther3506 James Gun Digest produced Book of Knives written by B.B. Hughes and Jack Lewis. It's not like the Gun Bible though. Really the best book the list and gives history on knife manufacturers is The Standard Knife Collectors Guide by Roy Ritchie and Ron Stewart. Roy Ritchie's book list over 300 knife companies plus custom knife makers. The most extensive listing of knife companies is Goins Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings. However most don't have histories.
