disappointed
I will be returning this book.I should have read the reviews before buying because one reviewer described what I just discovered with the arrival of "Knives and Razors."It is a huge, detailed encyclopedia of Case (307 pages), with a bone-thrown to Queen/Shatt & Morgan (84 pages), and Remington (86 pages). It is advertised as an all-encompassing guide to American knives.It is not, although Case collectors will love its focus/detail.
As far as current guides to knives go this is a great one.
Jim Sargent's book, American Premium Guide to knives and razors is not a let down if you are into Case or Queen knives. If you have bought other guides and been disappointed by how many advertisements were in it you will be very happy with this book because there are none.
not recommended
The book covers mostly Case and four other makers. It is

An excellent introduction to metal making
I found Metallurgy Fundamentals to be an excellent resource for myself. While not overly technical it covers the basic principles and theory of metal making in clear and straightforward language. I recommend it for persons in drafting, quality, design, or purchasing.

Nice Introduction to Metallurgy
This book is a nice introduction to the subject of metallurgy.It's well written and clear.Although it's not an in depth treatement of the subject, it should be a good introductory text for the technologist.

usefull tool for metallurgists
a good book to study AND RECOMEND ... Read more

Poor Book
Lacks worked out examples.Problems often ask qauestions referring to information presented in following chapters.Very poor book

Elasticity in Engineering Mechanics
This is good book, starts with a pretty good review on the mathematical foundation you need to continue through it, vector algebra, tensor analysis, calculus of variations, etc. then starts with theory of deformation , theory of stress, three dimesional equations of elasticity, plane theory of elasticity in rectangular cartisian coordinates, etc. As you can see the text begins with the most general theory an carries through a great deal of detail in the derivation of the equations. This is the text book for the AE731 theory of elasticity class in the aerospace department at WSU. I think this is definetely a good book though I would not reccommend its use to an introductory level, this is more for upper level or graduate students because it sometimes gets pretty difficult in the mathematical theory. I am currently using it and I would say you should buy it.Read more

Good job for plating industry
Mr.Durney made a good job for writing such a essential reference book with experienced specialists. This book takes different plant practices and then mixed them in a sensible manner for directly use in industry.Every plateror surface engineer have to thank him for making their search on platingeasier. ...

Look Elsewhere
Although it is difficult subject matter to address solely with the written word, sharpening skill can be transfered by the visual information provided while watching an experienced hand doing the work.This seems to have been the thesis of the people involved in the production of this tome."Still" pictures, however, do a poor job of relating the ways to control the edge angle (very important to sharpening) as the grinding proceeds, although pictures do reveal a well ground edge.While it is easy to see from the evidence presented here that the man in the pictures is indeed getting very sharp tools as a result of his efforts, the way to arrive at those results yourself is not well illuminated.This is when a few well chosen bits of verbage can make the critical difference in transfering the skill to the student.Written instructions are almost nonexsistent in this book.Overall, I would say that the wrong type of camera was used in this production; had a Video been made instead of a book (allowing for a running commentary, instead of sparse written instructions), I may well have been able to give more stars. ...

Hardly a shadow of the old Gun Gun Digest
Every year the new owners of Gun Digest put fewer and fewer articles in the book. 2007 seems to be the new low. Mostly it is now just a collection of canned catalog specs with many editing errors. After all, they don't have to pay anyone for that. The articles they do have are major boring. Nothing like the pre-2000 Gun Digest when Ken Warner was still the editor.

Gun Digest
This book is very informative. Information is easy to find on the subjects. Well worth the time to look it over.

A Major Disappointment
As a very long-time GD reader, I have seen good issues and fair issues.This is the first issue that I would consider poor.Editorial content is weak to the extreme, and there is little of interest for the gun enthusiast beyond updates of what's new on the market. The first article is about the .400 Brown Whelan (Why should anyone care?) The second is about modification of a Ruger #1 to .32-40.This is a pure vanity piece, of no interest unless for some strange reason you want to do the same.The third article is entitled "The Automatic Question," which sort of covers the development of semi-automatic sporting arms, touching on the question of advantages over other types of arms over the years.It's only mildly interesting. The next is a long story about the Bowie Knife.Maybe I'm mistaken, but this is not the "Knife Digest."Following is a story about "Premium Bullet Performance."The conclusion is simply that they are all pretty good. Ho-Hum. Next is a long picture piece on engraved weapons.Fine if you like pretty pictures, otherwise, a yawner. Next is a very long article covering the last 60 years of revolver development.It's moderately interesting.I think you get the idea.Anyway, it seems the effort was more on publishing a lot of slick pages in full color than in offering interesting articles that used to be GD's stock in trade. If I could return my copy to Amazon for a refund, I would.My assessment is simple - donate the cost of a copy of GD 2006 to the NRA.Your money will be much better spent. ... Read more
