Picked these old American Blade circa late ‘70’s.
I find lots of interesting blades and info in these publications from the past.

Thanks GG. I find them really interesting, especially to see the original price of knives compared to what is being asked for them now.  :cheers:

A nice selection of magazines! I have the AGR catalog but haven't seen the Eagle one. Over the years I have acquired a literal ton of reference books and magazines on knives and my feeling is:"You can NEVER have too many!" Good score!
