 This is "THE" one resource guide ALL collectors should have! |

| When researching knives and their values this is considered "THE" resource guide by most all collectors. I use it and highly recomend it. The amount of information is incredible and the in depth articals not only show you the values but also explain why they are worth what is shown. Best Regards, Mike Turber Owner BladeForums.com |
The Real Facts on This Guide

| Review Date: May 24, 2006 |
| Reviewer: Bud Lang, Eugene, OR USA |
| Krause asked me to update specific articles in Levine's Guide #5 by employing the SAME WRITERS Bernard used. Krause removed some material from some of the other articles. They also added 16 or so pages to the book, and told me what they wanted. Again, I used some of Bernard's writers, and a couple noted collectors suggested by some manufacturers. If Bernard's writers are so bad, why did HE employ them? Bernard later bad-mouthed me in Knife World regarding this book. I contacted Mr. Houston Price, the publisher and friend of mine, noting this wasn't a very smart move (lawsuits?), and Price sent me a later copy of Knife World with a written retraction by Bernard. To this day, Bernard will not speak to me even though we see one another maybe 10 times a year, almost face-to-face. But, that's his right. Most who have savaged Book 5 have a right to do so. I do feel they should know what they are speaking about first. Bud |

| I have the "extensively revised 4th edition" and I really like it...Pretty much covers everything in knife collecting..Lots of charts, diagrams, pictures, references, etc.....I liked the section on American Indian trade knives....Well worth the money...."A knowledgeable buyer to a knowledgeable seller in an unpressured transaction."...Damn skippy!!!!...The section on Knives as an Investment was interesting as well...This would make a great companion to Knifemakers Of Old San Francisco...No mention of READ THE KNIFE though..... |
A Classic Work Which Deserves Its Status

| This book is a true guide for a wide range of collectors, and would be collectors. I am impressed with its layout, which facilitates the very dense amount of knowledge being offered by Mr. Levine. Seldom have I seen a book of over 500 pages that actually seems to convey more information than its page count would suggest. In other words, if you are really interested in knives at all you ought to own this well crafted book. Why not all 5 stars? My only real criticisms are that some of the graphics should be better and the paper used is poor, (perhaps these two items are related. Anyway, great book, buy it, you will never regret it. |
