ccyooper Posted February 14, 2018 Share #14 Posted February 14, 2018 looks like a nice book. It would be great if you could post the author or vendors table at the SOS. I believe this to be a Woroniecki knife, it was carried by a friends uncle who was a USMC Raider. Marines must have liked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David D Posted February 15, 2018 Share #16 Posted February 15, 2018 Looks like a great book. Any pics of them in use in the Great War? I also think I see the knife I sold Greg a while back pictured in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Trzaska Posted February 17, 2018 Share #17 Posted February 17, 2018 Greg has done a great job of documenting the knives and their differences in this book, even us old dogs learned a few new bits in here. Good clear photos help to distinguish the patterns of the markings and the fonts as well as a load of period photos showing the knives being worn. Well Done Greg!

mikedon Posted February 17, 2018 Share #18 Posted February 17, 2018 I just got my copy. Very impressive book! Great color photography and a lot of detailed information about the Mark I trench knife and its variations. Even if you don't own one of these knives you will want this book in your reference library! Greg did a great job on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knucvks7 Posted February 28, 2018 Share #24 Posted February 28, 2018 I want to thank all forum members and collectors who stopped by to say hello and purchase my book on "The Model 1918 Mark 1 Trench Knife and Variations". It was nice to be able to put faces on the members who participate on the forum and meet fellow collectors from around the world. Thanks again.

SKIPH Posted March 4, 2018 Share #25 Posted March 4, 2018 Greg- Finished reading the book this morning. Really enjoyed it. The rare WW1 & WW2 photos, the color pics of the various trench knives, the subtle differences in variations, and the information in general, really filled in some gaps for me. Also, thanks for the personal autograph. One of these days I won't be working during the SOS, and can get over there and meet everyone. Thanks for putting out a great book for collectors!
