Shooter's Bible Guide to Knives: A Complete Guide to Hunting Knives Survival Knives Folding Knives Skinning Knives Sharpeners and More

My youngest son is really into knives and I wanted to get him a book for christmas so he can see what is available to collect and the price ranges. Took me awhile to find this book, search through a bunch with black and white photos. It's 2012 that just didn't seem acceptable. The photography in this book is amazing. You can actual see what the knife would look like if you where holding it! Good job to the publisher and author!

For all-around, general, information for someone who did not have a previous knowledge of knives, this is a fine book to start with. I had hoped it had more detailed information on survival knives, but it barely touched on that particular subject. And it has way too much space devoted to manufacturer's names and addresses. But, again, I'm sure some people would enjoy it.

A simple, cheap purchase like this is essential to anyone who wants to research or learn more about knife basics before diving into a $100 knife and up! I found it used by even new its probably less then $20. Contains a myriad of knives and manufacturers plus designers. Goes over different blade deployment methods and carry style. Most of all I have lots of knives are easily comparable in an easy to locat emanner instead of searching online for hours. Of course new products will come out and no be in here, but this will always give you the basics to start with .

As a beginner in knife collecting, I found this guide to be amazingly useful. The text gets a little drab at times but it more than makes up for that with a comprehensive catalogue and exceptionally well taken photographs.

More of a catalog than a textbook to substantially increase your knowledge of knives. A good elementary primer in limited knife basics, similar to other Shooter's Bible Guides.

A bible worth reading for the knife collectors out there. My husband loves this book and it is a great value.

Good book for a general and basic introduction to the subject area. I would like to see some of these digital books incorporate short film clips to help explain some areas. Not for the advanced aficionado.

Great book.....Lots of useful information!

Arrived promptly which was important as it was a last minute Xmas gift. Seemed full of information and pictures and the person I gave it to was very happy with it.

good info but mostly basic

Was a gift, they liked it, very informative about knives

Worthless.
