I'm developing an interest in KA-BAR knifes even though I've not been a collector of anything. I think I'm understanding the importance of a reference book to make sure things are authentic. What do collectors use for KA-BAR's? Coles IV? Thank you
 
Coles III and IV together are considered by many to be the foundation for a military blade reference set. The Best of Coles was considered a great compromise to those two books before the price for it went thru the roof after it recently went out of print. In the present market you can likely find good usable copies of III and IV for about the same money that is being asked for copies of the Best of Coles.
