Couldn't decide which knife to post so I did two of them.The book will always be the same.
First is a Press Button Knife Co. one-armed man's knife with an A.A.Marks etching on the blade.
Second is my grandfather's Imperial scout/utility;the first knife to inflict serious injury to me at the age of eight.

Interesting concept. For me I would have to say that my picture below with the Adrian Harris knife repair book and the Kent jack knife would cover it for me. I bought the book at a gunshow from a knife dealer and then bought a few 50 cent and dollar knives at the fleamarket to take apart and practice on. The Kent redone in rosewood was the first knife I had apart and rehandled. That was about 5 or 6 years ago.

Hey Paul, I posted the below pictures in December 2019 Fight'n Rooster forum.

Complete set of "Fight'n Rooster" Biblical series knives.
Only 300 of each made. Obtained from "Clarence Risner" in 1989.
The Rose of Sharon #079. Rose Crackle Celluloid.
Amazing Grace #083. Tan & Green Stripe Celluloid.
Lily of The Valley #083. Genuine Pearl.

Not the Number 1 selling knives, however, although it is impossible to obtain exact figures, there is little doubt that the Bible is the world's best-selling and most widely distributed book. A survey by the Bible Society concluded that around 2.5 billion copies were printed between 1815 and 1975, but more recent estimates put the number at more than 5 billion.

By the end of 1995, combined global sales of Today's English Version New Testament and Bible (copyright for which is held by the Bible Societies) exceeded 17.75 million copies, and the whole Bible had been translated into 349 languages; 2,123 languages have at least one book of the Bible in that language.

Great book, great knife! The novel, a best seller based on the life of James Bowie, was made into a 1952 motion picture starring Alan Ladd and Virginia Mayo. The knife is G.W. Stone’s “Magnum” survival knife which he designed for Vietnam War pilots. (I know, a “Bowie” knife would be more appropriate - but I don’t have one.)

I picked this book up at the Maryland Antique Arms Show in Timonium, MD, the author graciously signed it for me. I love finding and collecting old military knives.

Sargent's books are a great resource of old knife catalog pictures. I use it in comparison of knives I'm considering for my collection.
