Knife Mechanisms is a 394-page first edition hardcover, 11.00 by 9.50 inches, on the inner workings of folding knives. It explains how a range of locking and opening systems function, from friction folders to automatics, and why one system gets chosen over another. Price writes in a conversational tone, with illustrations and photographs alongside each topic. Bios of knife makers and designers, with personal stories, put the engineering in real-world context.

The Gun Digest® Buyer's Guide to Assault Weapons by Peterson runs 304 pages and explains how civilian and military weapons differ and what makes each rifle collectible. It covers receivers, muzzle brakes, barrels, stocks, calibers and magazines, with photographs to help identify models. Guns Illustrated 2009 by Sigler is a 568-page softcover catalog of pistols, rifles, shotguns and accessories, with factory specifications, retail pricing and full-color illustrations.
