News – July 12, 2022: I appreciate that this is old news: Ron Flook’s latest book “Knives & Daggers of the SOE”, went on sale in December 2021, it’s a nice A4 sized hardback with lots of new information. The bad news is that his website http://www.militaryandantiqueknives.co.uk/ indicates that he only has 9 copies left (as at June 2022) and that there will not be a second print, so if you want to purchase a copy you had better be quick.
