### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a Great book on how knives actually fold and work
*by A***N on June 2, 2014*

I bought the sample Kindle edition and gave it 5 stars, and give the full book the same rating 5 stars. There is no other book like it for those who are into knives and specifically folding knives. I have been looking for this kind of information. Every aspect and concept of how a knife actually folds and opens is discussed, it obviously took a lot of work to write this book in such fine detail. It presented a whole new way to look at and think about how a knife actually locks open. I have much more confidence in understanding knife mechanisms. Like the description says, the information was technical but there were a variety of lighter moments.As a collector I really found it fascinating, and as I am also beginning to make knives, have learned things that I knew little about, like "assisted opening" and how springs work in a knife that will help me in my hobby. The drawings are very helpful and correlates to the text, so its easy to understand the specific concept in detail. There so many views of the internal parts of knives, both drawings and photos.I credit the author for writing this book, its the first of its kind.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best (and only) book on knife mechanisms ever!
*by C***Y on September 16, 2014*

Sometimes, when an individual has rather obscure taste, they have difficulty finding literature pertaining to their interest. When these people do find something in the desired field, often times it is rather jejune. Luckily, this isn't a problem with Mr. Price's book. As one could infer from the title, the author's writing style is anything but formalistic. His language has a chipper goofy tone that one would expect in a conversation with friends. Yet, for all his levity, the author manages to cover an exceptional breadth of locking mechanisms with a level of intimacy that betrays an impressive knowledge of his subject. Furthermore, thanks to the extensive presence of pictures and diagrams, following along never became difficult even when the technicality of the subject increased. In short, I really enjoyed reading this book, and I learned quite a bit about the inner workings of of some of my favorite things. LeRoi Price has written what is the definitive text on knife mechanisms.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ To those who like knives this is an educational must have!
*by V***C on October 19, 2023*

If you've ever wondered how your knife functioned this book is s goldmine of information. Information on design and function as well as the history of your favorite blade. If you're a knife enthusiast you must have this book.
