    • Very useful and helpful
Case has been in business for over one hundred years. They have a long history with many products and changes over this time. Collecting Case knives is great fun but you need knowledge to understand what you are looking at and/or biding on. Published in 2009, this book is current as possible. The author's style is informative and easy to read. There is an abundance of full color pictures illustrating the knife styles and handle materials. Where a picture is not possible, they have an illustration. I never found myself trying to figure out what they were describing. This book covers Case Pocket or Folding Knives only. It is no use to a collector of fixed blade knives but might make you switch preferences. This is not a problem for those collecting pocketknives. The one weak area is the "Case Pocket Knives Value Guide". It contains little information that can help do more than establish a basic idea of price. Pricing is always dynamic and no guide is ever current. ... show more

    • Premier Reference for the Case Collector
Mr. Pfeiffer is a well-known authority on Case knives. His book covers all the major Case patterns, with an emphasis on the period from the end of World War II to the present. These are the knives that are most available and priced at a level that many collectors can afford. What sets this book apart is the quality of the photographs. A lot of reference works are printed on cheap stock with grainy black and white photographs. This book is printed on heavy glossy stock with many beautiful, clear color photographs. Having good photographs for reference makes it a lot easier for the collector to identify a knife and avoid the rampant counterfeits that plague the hobby. There are plenty of close-ups of tang stamps, blade etches, shields and other details as well as images of the major patterns and their variations. The fine print quality invites and rewards careful study of the pictures. The diligent reader will come away from this book with a clear idea of how the knives should look. ... show more

    • Wonderful
This is a beautiful book about Case knives. If you are interested in the All American Hand Made Case knives, this book is a must. It talks about Case knife construction, different handle materials past and present. The book also has a seperate sections about each knife pattern. All photos, and there are a lot of them, are in color. It is easy to spend hours reading the book. I hope there will be a book 2 soon to include more detailed background of each pattern, why they were designed and what they were used for, caring and displaying of Case knives and to include information on newer patters such as Trapperlock, Russlock, Tony Bose knives and Commemorative issues. Overall, it is a great Case book. ... show more

    • Good for pre-1990's knives
Good info, but it does not extend past the late 1990's. If you collect only current Case knives, the information will only allow you to identify some of your knives. Any knives that Case has produced since then are a lot more difficult to identify.

    • Collecting case Knives:identification and...
This book didn't get too far into values of all case knives as expected. It did tell about the wonderment of the knives and some values but I was looking for collectors knife values more than this book provided.

    • A must for Case collector's!
I collect Case knives and this book is great for giving me price, dates, and authenticating the Case knives I have and want! This book explains every year and has pictures to show the real deal vs pictures showing what to look out for. This is my go to when I buy from individuals or pawn shops. Has saved me lots of headache and money! ... show more

    • Advancing The Hobby
My wife is always asking what I want for the holidays so I told her that a copy of Steve's (knifeaholic's) book would be a nice stocking stuffer. My copy just arrived this morning and I was granted permission to open and peruse. I've got to say that I am impressed. The book would be worth its price for the color images alone...factor in the content and accessibility of information and the book is not only a "must have" but a bargain to boot. This one goes right beside Levine, Goins, Sargent & Witcher in the permanent collection and will be well and lovingly worn in the years to come. Well done, Steve. You've helped advance our favorite avocation!!! A worthy addition to any knife collector or user's library. ... show more
