For me, LG4 is hard to beat. Levine was supposed to keep updating it over the years but then he had a falling out with the publisher.
Vince, those are some great suggestions!
I did mean a book that targeted both new and experienced collectors.
Knives from the original Camillus, Schrade and other companies, but not ones that have been reproduced after those companies went out of business.
I agree about price guides and trying to have values in knife books. I don't think they are accurate and whenever someone tries to quote me "book prices" I usually ignore them. But with that said, when I first started out and didn't know of places like this, or the right people to ask, I looked at book values for a while. Probably just a security blanket at the time.
Right Dan, no one book can do it all. Heck, there are World War II books on just one campaign.
Brad, those are all great ideas. I know you think about vintage knives a lot, and thinking about what isn't out there is helpful.
Thanks for all of the replies.
