Blades and books

[DangerZone98]

One for the hand and one for the mind.

If this thread has been done before, my apologies.

Anyway, feel free to list your reading recommendation as well to help keep our sanity in this pandemic. They say a lot can be said about a man by what he reads.

I’ll start us off.

Still have to read this, i thought this kind of knife would not be too far off from being carried by them, (I know, bowies were later) although it really would have been a butcher or some kind of skinner, roach belly or a rifleman's knife. Just thought they looked good together. So before Bowie and the sandbar fight, were there any clip point style knives that were around Lewis and Clarks' time? Spanish knives?

No image at this time but curious are comic books, graphic novels, & manga also acceptable content for photos?

Now that sounds like an interesting tale, I did not know he did those. Is it a good read?

This may have been the first book I bought as an adult.

I’m sure there is a word for rearranging the same words and making two different titles but it escapes me right now, anagram but for words. Anyway theses books are kin, sort of, and so are the blades.

Haven’t read this one yet but it’s next in my stack.

I remember reading this when it came out over 50 years ago:

A good biography I read last year:

A history of the Laguiole knife:

Variety is the spice of life.

Sure! Just try to keep the photos PG-13. So far as I know, this forum category is supposed to be family friendly. I look forward to seeing comic books, graphic novels, and manga too.
