Description

Knife collecting has grown tremendously in the last thirty years, and the most collected brand by far is Case. The long history of Case knives dates to 1896, when brothers John, Jean, and Andrew Case began producing knives with their stampings. Author Tom McCandless, a longtime knife collector, explores the history of Case knives from their beginning to 1920 in Old Knives, XX, and More. He also chronicles his own experiences as a collector in building knowledge, networking with dealers and vendors, and finding answers to questions of value and authentication. Early Case knives, current-production knives, or knives from any period between are all collectible. Some collectors focus on patterns such as whittlers, stockman, or trappers. Other collections are based on handle materials such as stag, bone, pearl, greenbone, and redbone. If you want to know more about collecting knives-including pattern numbers, handle materials, grading conditions, and pricing-this book is an essential resource. Read more

  • Good book
Just to look up knifes

  • Good history of other names making knives.
Too large of a history for anything other than a huge book to show all history. Good info and great pictures certainly help.

  • LOTS OF GOOD INFO
GOOD PRICE. THIS BOOK HAS TAUGHT AND IS STILL TEACHING ME. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BOOK AND THE SELLER!

  • Definately not worth the money.
Photos are few and of very poor quality for a hardcover book. Only 54 total pages not counting the index at the rear of the book. Save you money.

  • Great read!
Found this book helpful. Enjoyed learning about the Case family history and seeing pictures. Highly recommend.

  • Covers knives shown nowhere else I can find
This book delves back in time 100+ years to look at knives that few people encounter but just might like to know about. For Case knife collectors it's a must. For other knife enthusiasts, it's just fun. Well worth the price
