Hello All,

Paid my $5 and will contribute $5 for each book sold.

If this is not the correct place to share this info, please direct it accordingly.

I wanted to announce the completion of my NEW BOOK on VAN
ADESTINE knives released this Labor Day Weekend. (again I'm
sorry that the first book SOLD OUT so quickly with so many
left wanting)

Robert Van Adestine made many hand forged knives for WWII
soldiers.

This New Book is much more detailed than my first book from
2008 and includes 50 knives and other items in the collection,
with details and history about each.

This is a "Hard Cover" Limited Edition showing over 2-1/2
times as many knives as my first book.

see this link for more info. I'd be happy to answer any
questions.

There will be a new avenue shortly for these type of sales. It's fine here for now. Give it a few days. When you see the new digs...you might wanna' move.
Good luck with your sales, Capt. Chris

The book is dedicated to Robert Van Adestine's Grandson who passed away 5 years ago.

The book has been delayed about 10 days - These 2 recently acquired knives were hastily added to the study.

One is a Hunter and the other is a WWII Double Edge Fighter.

These represent Knife no.50 and no.51 added to the study.

Information about these (and 49 others) are included in the book.

Here are 10 WWII Van Adestine Fighting knives that have been collected. The WWII Van Adestine Fighter is likely the rarest of all the WWII U.S. Military Fighting knives. The 6th knife from the left is the latest addition, but unfortunately it is not included in the book. It arrived a 2 weeks after the book was released for publication. A separate "update page" can be obtained from the Author.

Well, its been 15 years since my post above. I now have 122 Van Adestine knives in my Collection / Study and I am still offering a handsome finders fee to anyone that finds me a knife to buy. I have written 3 books and have a few books left if anyone is interested. The books are a great references for locating my knives.
