The skinning knife

This is a wonderful book. M H Cole is a masterful illustrator the likes of which are extremely few and far between. Tragically his books are out of print and difficult to find. "The Skinning Knife" is still available in good condition and at a very reasonable price. I would encourage any serious knife collector to aquire a copy if at all possible. It chronicles this vital segment of our nations knife history expertly with fondness and respect. M H Cole is a BLADE magazine Hall of Fame member, and desevedly so. This book is a splendid example of his work and not to be passed over. - Paul Granger

Hand drawn illustrations. Very little information of any use to anyone but the author.
