The Illustrated World Encyclopedia of Knives, Swords, Spears & Daggers: Through History In Over 1500 Photographs

Beautiful book. Chock full of incredible photographic and written documentation.

This has SO MANY reference images in it! I got this book because I SWEAR every time I made tattoo designs or did some mf arts n crafts, there would be a secret nazi reference somewhere in it and I'd have to SCRAP IT! I double check all my dagger designs to make sure so nazi bs is in it lmao plus it has so much history listed next to the images, it's great

My son is obsessed with the history Forged in Fire shares on their show with every weapon they create. This book is so much fun, and packed with a lot of history.

My husband is new to forging knives and I bought this book to give him inspo for his future knife projects. He absolutely loved it!!

Got this to hopefully identify some mystery swords in my collection. They weren't in there, but it helped me narrow down some clues.

Beautiful book, thorough, great pictures. Very comprehensive.

My grandson loves knives and he's learn so much and loves reading this book

My grandson loves and collects knives. When I saw this I new it was a perfect gift for him. He loves it. It completes his collection. I am so glad I got it for him. My other grandsons who do not collect knives all wanted the book also. I recommend this encyclopedia of knives to anyone looking for an interesting read.

Fantastic book full of photographs with an incredible quality. The book is in itself a fantastic visual reference, if you are interested in detailed info, this is not for you. However, with every chapter you have a little introduction about the type of weapons and miscelaneous or historic information. The quality of the bookbinding and the pages, are just perfect. This is a very valuable book of that kind of books where you want to have in your bookshelve.

My husband was happy to receive this book as he likes to make historically acurate knives. This book was perfect with the illustrations and descriptions of each in every era.

My son reads this in bed.

das Buch ist logisch gegliedert ( wie bei den meisten englischen Dokumentationen ). Die hunderte Abbildungen sind sehr hochwertig gedruckt. Die Beschreibungen sind knapp und teilweise etwas andere Kategorisierungen als nach nach Oakeshott oder Seifert. Ist also eher ein netter Überblick, kein Standardwerk wie ein Seifert. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Dolchen und Säbeln, Stangenwaffen und Schwerter kommen leider nur sehr kurz weg. Aber ein schönes Buch mit tollen Bildern und für den Druck sehr preiswert.

Beautiful book. Excellent photos and clear and well resourced text. Great gift for those interested in weaponry and history.
