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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

This book was well researched and it provides a lot of information but the format leaves a lot to be desired. Some knives have pricing and others do not which is hard to imagine. A scarcity guide and more detailed grading guide with picture examples of each grade would be helpful. Prices for each knife pictured in the book should be provided. Would buy it again but it leaves a bit to be desired for uninitiated collectors. Also omits some of the commemoratives...including ones made in the 70s such as the 1976 Bowie knife.

This is a great book for collectors, at ALL levels, of Case knives. History, lore, material descriptions, pattern descriptions (with histories and variants) are all thoroughly and thoughtfully documented with beautiful accompanying photographs and a value guide to boot! It's almost* EVERYTHING you need to know on the subject of Case knives. *for the story on the family, I'd recommend "The Case Cutlery DYNASTY" by Brad Lockwood
