Knife World Magazine- this month

[textoothpk]

Finally got a chance to take a look at my favorite knife publication, KNIFE WORLD. If you enjoy leaning about old, old Schrades, Schrade-Waldens, Ulsters, ect., you will enjoy this magazine.

Page 13 carries two small articles of interest to us. The launch of Canal St. Cutlery is announced, and I know it has been posted here before, but here is the phone number of the new company: 845-647-5900.
Also, there is a short about Imperial-Schrade/Taylor. Article states that some old Schrade employees have been kept on board to ease the transistion. Also, plans for knives at least carrying the markings of our favorite knife are mentioned: Some made in Asia, some made here in the US, including a high grade lineup intended for the collector market.

If you have never read Knife World, I think you owe it to yourself to do so. Great articles by fine authors. Bernard Levine's 'Whutizzit' column is always fascinating (our LT has had a couple of mentions in it) The editor is Mark Zelinski, one of the finest knife people you'll ever meet, C. Huston Price is the publisher, and there is a great monthly column by Frank Trzaska dealing with Military knives. It's in newspaper format, which I like, the pages not glaring back at you as you read. Also a classified section; I made a great sale through it once.

Something to think about... Will Stewart Taylor ever discover there is a website here, with his new company's name on it? Let's keep it a secret, huh?

Thanks for posting that Phil. Bad enough Larry takes revenge on me for sending him knife links (so far I think he has outbought me ), but now you are spending my money too (show them some turqouise Larry!).

Well, just so you know, I just subscribed. There was no field to allow me to place the blame...er...credit, so you get no free knives from them. And they did have an interesting assortment of books available too, including the one on George Schrade. And so the reference library begins.

BTW, did you get the "Wild und Hund" knife? Need a good Adolphus Busch knife?

Just to add to what Phil has said quite well......

Here is a link to the website...

http://www.knifeworld.com/
If you click on the "Free Trial" tab on the left, you can try it for 3 months for free, if you live in the U.S. I think it's one month for our Canadian friends, or for Don Luis.

No matter, it's still a great deal, and a great read.

Both Houston Price and Mark Zalesky ARE very nice, knowledgeable, and approachable with questions. Bernard Levine's column is worth the subscription price on it's own, IMO.

Codger,
While your at Knifeworld browsing the great books, make sure you pick up the one by our own LT.. I know, there I go again spending your money for you..
Gladly post a turqouise picture when I get some. Maybe when I'm in AZ this May I'll pick some up too. Did I tell you all the old Schrades are legal in AZ?
With and without that little extra front spring and button.
I thought you were getting the "Wild und Hund" for me!
