A fairly comprehensive hitory.
This is a good book to dip into. There are numerous illustrations & photos. It is well organised into categorised directories & has quite a lot of good, if brief, articles about the history & deveopment of edged weapons. If you need information about the craft side of cutting blades eg. Puukkos or similar then you'll need to look elsewhere. This a great book for leisurely browsing that you'll keep on returning to - recommended.
