When these people do find something in the desired field, often times it is rather jejune. Luckily, this isn't a problem with Mr. Price's book. As one could infer from the title, the author's writing style is anything but formalistic. His language has a chipper goofy tone that one would expect in a conversation with friends. Yet, for all his levity, the author manages to cover an exceptional breadth of locking mechanisms with a level of intimacy that betrays an impressive knowledge of his subject. Furthermore, thanks to the extensive presence of pictures and diagrams, following along never became difficult even when the technicality of the subject increased. In short, I really enjoyed reading this book, and I learned quite a bit about the inner workings of of some of my favorite things. LeRoi Price has written what is the definitive text on knife mechanisms. Review: What a Great book on how knives actually fold and work - I bought the sample Kindle edition and gave it 5 stars, and give the full book the same rating 5 stars. There is no other book like it for those who are into knives and specifically folding knives. I have been looking for this kind of information. Every aspect and concept of how a knife actually folds and opens is discussed, it obviously took a lot of work to write this book in such fine detail. It presented a whole new way to look at and think about how a knife actually locks open. I have much more confidence in understanding knife mechanisms. Like the description says, the information was technical but there were a variety of lighter moments. As a collector I really found it fascinating, and as I am also beginning to make knives, have learned things that I knew little about, like "assisted opening" and how springs work in a knife that will help me in my hobby. The drawings are very helpful and correlates to the text, so its easy to understand the specific concept in detail. There so many views of the internal parts of knives, both drawings and photos. I credit the author for writing this book, its the first of its kind. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #274,293 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Sword & Knife Collecting | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (18) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.62 x 11 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0991471008 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0991471003 | | Item Weight | 1.75 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 272 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2014 | | Publisher | HEART OF FLORIDA | ## Images ![Knife Mechanisms Just for the fun of it!: BOOK ONE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WApAAHyNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best (and only) book on knife mechanisms ever! *by C***Y on September 16, 2014* Sometimes, when an individual has rather obscure taste, they have difficulty finding literature pertaining to their interest.

It is a wonderful combination of drawings and explanations. I enjoy accumulating pocket knives and this book has great information into how they work. The drawings are clear and show the internal workings of many knife styles, some I'd never seen before. This makes for an interesting trip into how all of these parts come together into a knife and what makes them work. It is obvious that great amounts of effort went into this book and lots of knives were dismantled in it's production. Unlike some knife manuals that feel repackaged this is the source others will be going to I highly recommend it for the book shelf of any knife enthusiast ## Frequently Bought Together - Knife Mechanisms Just for the fun of it!: BOOK ONE - Knife Mechanisms Volume Two - Knife Engineering: Steel, Heat Treating, and Geometry --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/124902929-knife-mechanisms-just-for-the-fun-of-it-book-one](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/124902929-knife-mechanisms-just-for-the-fun-of-it-book-one) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
