{"product_id":"2940013638129","title":"Sabertooth Knife Collectors Guide","description":"This book is about a knife called Sabertooth. I invented it during a horseback journey from ocean to ocean in 1968. That ride took seven months and covered 4000 miles through all the seasons. Necessity made me realize the kind of knife I needed. The Sabertooth at an overall length of 12 ¾ inches, with a 7 ½ inch blade is perfectly suited for wilderness survival.\u003cbr\u003e   The name Sabertooth, originally two words, (Saber tooth) came from my memory of a saber-toothed skull I saw in 1965 at the Los Angeles County Art Museum built on the La Brea tar-pits at Wilshire and La Cienega Boulevard in Hollywood, California. The extinct saber tooth (Smilodon), which was a foot shorter but nearly twice as heavy as a lion, did not eat with its long fangs, it stabbed with them. It held on to its prey and used its powerful neck and shoulder muscles to pound those dagger-like teeth through the tough hide of its victim. With each violent struggle of its quarry, the long fangs sank deeper. In my hand, the knife I invented reminded me of those sharp, well anchored teeth, so I named it Sabertooth.\u003cbr\u003e   The Sabertooth Collectors Guide is for knife enthusiasts, anyone who collects knives and especially for those who collect Sabertooth knives. It is a carry-about book for people who, search and find, and need to verify the history and authenticity, of that one’s-of-a-kind Sabertooth knife built by Jefferson Spivey.  Also, for knife owners and collectors who are simply interested in the Sabertooth knife history.","brand":"Sabertooth Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070104912112,"sku":"2940013638129","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013638129_p0.jpg?v=1763583839","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013638129","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
