Slipjoint/traditional history

[J0LLY71M3]

Im looking to expand my knowledge about traditional knives as far as history, patterns, brands anything. Are there any books I could get that would meet these requirements?

You're welcome. Don't let the titles of the Great Eastern and Tidioute books fool you. They both contain a good amount of historical information on traditional cutlery in general in addition to the brands mentioned in the titles.

I like the Tidioute book the best for a good historical read but they are both good books.

Fly over to England and show up on @Jack Black 's doorstep and crash on his couch for a week.

You'd need to clear a space among the knives

I second this. He also has a great YouTube channel.
