Knives 2011: The World's Greatest Knife Book

In its 31st edition, "The Knives Annual Book" has followed the progression of knives from traditional pocketknives to custom bowies, autos, dirks, daggers and fast-opening, one-hand folders. Through colour photography and informed writing, the transition from carbon steel blades to damascus and from bone or stag handles to ancient ivory, pearl, titanium, and such exotics as giraffe bone and walrus tusk have been documented and forever immortalised within the pages of the book. It is treasured by knife collectors, enthusiasts, knifemakers and dealers.

Anyone interested in knives will love this publication. I like them so much I have them all from 1998 to the present. I find its a good book to leave in the restroom for the guys, but also belongs in any knife lovers library. The commentary can be a bit corny but the photos are nearly always great and the articles are generally good reads into what the industry is doing that year.

This book is excellent for viewing some great custom knives, and the resources listed in the back of the book on custom makers and factory sources is worth the price of the book by itself.

I have the entire series of Knives annuals. I enjoy the pictures and descriptions. The articles are always interesting. Well worth buying all of the series.

This is a great reference book for anyone interested in knives. The pictures are clear and colorful. The knife maker index is very extensive.
