In the world of firearms reference, things don’t get much bigger than Shooter’s Bible. With more than seven million copies sold and over 100 editions in almost a century, Shooter’s Bible has become synonymous with unrivaled quality, scope, and expertise.

The respected brand is now turning its attention to knives, which in their ancient form helped assure the evolution of man, long before gunpowder and firearms.

With photographs and descriptions of more than 400 knives, readers are treated to product highlights from major manufactures and custom knife makers. This book brings you from the blacksmith shop to high-tech influential designers with insights into blade steel, locking mechanisms, and handle materials. Expect to find the definitive information on the following:

 

  • Knife anatomy
  • Folding knives for self-defense
  • Fixed-blade knives
  • Sharpeners
  • Modern manufactures
  • Legal information for knife owners

Whether you use knives for hunting or self-defense, or you view them as tools or objects of art, Shooter’s Bible Guide to Knives is the source for the products and the passion.
