Blades upon Books - Traditionals

[Dadpool]

Awesome pic. That's a beautiful knife, and I LOVE old pulpy covers!

Thanks! Me too.

99% of my reading has been on my Kindle for the past few years, but I've still got a print library of pulps and other special-to-me books. There's something about pulp SF and fantasy that goes well with traditional pocketknives, at least in my brain.

Dadpool-thanks for putting up some pictures, and you Freekboi, the kinds of books I've read my whole life, with one type of knife I've carried, most of my life. Truly delectable editions of books and knives here, anytime someone is tired of one or the other...please, feel free to send them my way!
Thanks, Neal

If this was written by my wife, that book would be about 3 times as thick!

Haha. Be thankful it wasn't then, Freekboi! It is indeed a small book.

Looking at Dadpool's awesome contribution inspired me to dig out a few of my more pulpy covers and take some shots.

That looks like an interesting book Herder, and certainly a great-looking knife :thumbup:

Thanks Jack, It's a fascinating 350 page dictionary of Western words and sayings. Enclosed is a one page example.

I've fallen way behind on this thread and on the porch in general the past couple of weeks. Fantastic stuff everyone! Such a great variety of beautiful knives and books. :thumbup:
