"As to the two photos I just added:
The hand is about healed up now and ready for work.
A bunch of lockbacks from my collection."

Ferguson White Bible Front Cover
The front cover of what has been described as the White Bible of knife collecting. Romance of Collecting Case xx Knives. The information in this book was the first to show actual pictures of the knives and prices of the day in the early 1970's I have 2 of these and this one is pretty much complete. It's cover is slightly darkened but does still have its original plastic spiral binding and Blue Card sttached to the rear plastic spine. This 1 purchase years ago has saved me Thousands of Dollars. I have used it many times to check Blade types Handle Materials, and because I used it I didn't purchase nearly as many fantasy knives.

Thanks for the kind words. I will continue to add Pictures from the different Collectors Books I have acquired over the years. However I don't intend to post all the pictures of Catalogs that I have in boxes from years ago. That would be a tremendous undertaking and I doubt the Admins would appreciate it!

What a gret set of books you have here Mike. Thanks for posting them, and their descriptions. I also enjoyed reading how you used them to broaden both your collection knowledge and wisdom, but to broaden your awareness of the knives themselves.
Good stuff here.
