Great Knife Makers For the Early West By James Gordonhttp://www.tactical-life.com/tactical-knives/great-knife-makers-for-the-early-west-by-james-gordon/Hard cover, 285 pages, $85. Published by the author James Gordon. 808 Paseo de la Cuma, Dept. TK. Sante Fe,
Chapters are broken down by “knife types,” “English makers,” and “American makers.” Despite the legend of the Russell Green River knife, the vast majority of knives used in the early beaver trade were from England, with Wilson and Furniss being the apparent favorites. The author has an excellent selection of specimens from both makers to illustrate that fact.

The skinning knife Hardcover – January 1, 1996by M. H Cole (Author)
Vous pouvez le trouver sur Amazon
This is a wonderful book. M H Cole is a masterful illustrator the likes of which are extremely few and far between. Tragically his books are out of print and difficult to find. "The Skinning Knife" is still available in good condition and at a very reasonable price. I would encourage any serious knife collector to aquire a copy if at all possible. It chronicles this vital segment of our nations knife history expertly with fondness and respect. M H Cole is a BLADE magazine Hall of Fame member, and desevedly so. This book is a splendid example of his work and not to be passed over. - Paul Granger
