Excellent. This is the Real Levine 4th Edition. It is, as everyone says, the must have book for knife aficionados. This is everything that everyone says it is. This is not the phony 5th Ed. that Amazon is still selling as Levine, without mentioning that Levine made absolutely NO contribution to the Blade Magazine 5th Edition advertised as Levine. Bud Lang tries to correct the error made by others, but he is the one who is unjustly hung for this deliberate and inexcusable mis-labeling. Shame on Amazon. Shame on Blade Magazine. If you take a magnifying glass to the Amazon picture, you can see that it says 5th Ed., but this is not stated in their Text description. This is a deliberate cheat and I fell for it. Shame on Amazon!!! They even knowingly published two Rave reviews for the 4th Edition in the review section. These reviews are the ones that suckered me. Someone who understands that Amazon and Blade Magazine Cheat, would not have fallen for the cheat because the two most favorable reviews were dated before publication of the cheating 5th Ed. There was one later favorable review specifically referencing the 4th. Bring your magnifying glass when you buy from Amazon. Because of the Amazon/Blade Magazine cheat, I bought all of the earlier Levine work that I could find. The Levine 1,2&3 are all different and I am happy to have anything from this fine and very careful scholar.Read full review

This is the last price guide with Mr. Levine's involvement and is the best general knife / cutlery book ever! No knife collector's library should be without this volume.
A must have book for every knife collector. History, knowledge, care and pricing. If you can find one, I suggest you buy one.
