An old favorite with an old favorite.

One of my very favorite books as a kid, paired with my very first pocket knife.

I attempted to have each knife matched up with a book in some way.

The knife here is listed as one of the Official knives in the Handbook that year.



I was a big fan of the Lone Ranger when I was a kid.



Guess...



Another of my heroes with a knife from the same country.

That Last Lion is a crazy good bio. I have the first one dealing from birth on up to 1932, bought it from the local public library for $0.50. Their loss.

I've always wondered what kind of knife Churchill carried. And the best of the three is the 2nd book in my opinion.

Love books on history but when I just want to be transported to an earlier, simpler time this book is one of my all time favorites. Have read it several times

This is the downside of having all ebooks. I have nothing left to photograph[emoji15]

My older eyes appreciate the larger text and brighter view I can select. I do most of bladeforums reading, book and news reading on a tablet.
I think Hamilton would have liked to carry this nice stag shadow.

I think all of us would like to carry that Stag Shadow......

Agree with both points Gary. I can hardly read on paper anymore. I do read Blade Forums mostly on the computer instead of the iPad.

Jolipapa gave me this very interesting book last year as a present. Good to help me improve my reading of French. He also included other goodies such as a Total petrol keyring from the 60s with a floating Citroen DS19 in it (iconic European car) and this very nice faux Tortoise Shadow. Great stuff Alain!

Dean, your photos are examples of my favorite kind of book/knife pics in which there's some kind of thematic connection between knife and book. :thumbup: Before this thread ever started, kenspen had been posting some really clever photos of this type; I hope he puts some of his in this thread eventually! Good to see your Lone Ranger knives, too!

I took a photo of a gift knife (thanks, Dan) a couple of years ago that has a thematic connection. I like the knife, and the book author, although the pictured book requires a suspension of disbelief that I just couldn't provide!
