Knives of the United States military: World War II Hardcover – January 1, 1999

Another "outstanding" book by Michael W. Silvey,on World War II knives . Comments from a retiredMarine Corps, Sergeant Major.

Good book but really just a picture of the authors collectionNo information on makers or datesNot really useful for research

If you collect or are interested in the knives used by our service men in WWII this is a must. Also M.H. Cole's book " The Best of U. S. Military Knives, Bayonets & Machetes " edited by Silvey will become a go to resource on WWII edged weapons.

This book,written by Michael Silvey, is a picture book of Military knives. It is particularly welldone. But, there is little data on the knives as to use,rarity,markings etc. It is not a collectors guide.I enjoyed it but have reservations about recommending it to anyone except those that are just interested in a picture book.Silvey is clear in the Preface exactly what the book is and is not. Great browser.

Nice book, color pictures.. have many books on bayonets, this one is rated high on my list for US WW2 bayonets

Good reference book by virtue of detailed photos. Little reading material, but essential for collectors

Pretty nice book.Just photos of a bunch of someone's knife collections.Not much historic information.

A decent starter book, but nothing really in-depth for the serious collector.
