Knife Mechanisms by LeRoi Price - Book

Post by tedmen »

Has anyone read or seen this particular book? I'm wondering if it has much Italian information. BO/BC, Square button, D stamp etc. As someone who has nver seen the insides of the various versions I'm thinking this book might be helpful for novices.

I don't think it has any switchblade references.

There is a picture that gets posted from time to time with several liners each with a different button mech.

I have the book, it is a useful reference book. In my opinion anyway, i am new to working on or disassembly of knives so it helped me. It may not if you are an advanced mechanic with knives. The guy is on Facebook and is very nice fellow

I don’t know where’s you can find this book. It has photos and x-ray images of many knives.
Try contacting the authors.

Hey John, thanks for showing that Growitz and Chopra book. Also it appears Leroi Price published a follow up book on knife mechanisms with more mechanisms as well.
