I'm thinking of updating my literature collection and I am looking for suggestions on books about big knives - 6"+ blades. I'm not as interested in books on making knives, as in books that debate the pros and cons of various preexisting designs - Any favorites out there among the cantina crowd?

I've got "Bowies, Big knives, and the best of Battle Blades" by Bill Bagwell.

As far as the Bowies themselves go he's got alot of good interesting stuff, but the rest of the book is garbage IMHO. He's not opinionated or arrogant, just always right...:rolleyes:

If I believed everything I read in his book I would fearlessly take on anyone with a tomahawk, Marine Ka-Bar, or AK-47 Bayonet empty handed cause all of those are such inferior blades, they would be incapable or cutting or piercing even the softest parts of my body....:D

I guess what I'm saying is that considering how common this one is, don't bother buying it, unless you can get a sweet deal on a used one.
 
I thank you for the warning, that was the top one on my list...

Any other warnings guys (and gals)?
