Description: This book is a color celebration of the pocket knives of the United States military, and features both U.S. and foreign-made models.  It is a historical chronology beginning with the first folders of the early 1800s and ending with the high-tech knives of the twenty-first century.  There are nearly 400 color photographs showing hundreds of different issue pocket knives--single-blade, multi-blade, and multi-tool--including many that have never been shown in a publication before.
