<p>Thanksgiving here in the Carter house is usually built around what the kids and grandkids want for dinner. Everybody joins me in the kitchen throughout the day and the grandkids learn to make their favorite sides. For the last year we have been blessed enough to have our son and his family living here in town. God know I am grateful for that, he has 2 teens and a 4 year old . My baby Milo (the 4 YO) will grow up at Nana Jans knee and I will get to see Proms, homecomings and all that comes with a 14 year old girl.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This summer along with my medical issues we had a scare with Donnie (my husband). We found out that he is in stage 4 kidney failure. Okay, that means a good many changes to a 76 year old Georgia boys eating habits LOL. Meatless, lower proteins and potassium. Take a look at the back of the next product you eat, you will be surprised. I am grateful that he willingly made 90% of the changes without much fuss.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am also grateful that my Drs have gotten together and we now have a plan to get me walking and not laying down for many hours in the day.</p>
<p></p>
<p>What I am most grateful for? The friends here on iKC. The chance to dive into looking at someone's knife collection, it says a lot about a person and keeps me from going stir crazy. The knife research I can do on my phone while I am just lying about. The iKC journey can be and is pretty amazing. I have always said the best part about iKC is the members and I still believe that.</p>
<p>So tell me what you are grateful for this year and thanks for being here</p> Fathers day sales for 2022tag:iknifecollector.com,2022-06-14:3181080:Topic:16986372022-06-14T18:13:39.286ZJan Carterhttps://iknifecollector.com/profile/JanCarter

<p>Hello, I am looking for help with a Case knife that I have. Here is what I do know about the knife, it is 6 1/2” unfolded and the single blade is 3”. The stamp on the tang says W.R. CASE & SONS BRADFORD PA. I know from this stamp it was made between 1905-1914. Any other information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you </p>

<p>A three Day weekend coming up. Great and you have been looking up yard/estate sales plus the flea markets. It ought to be a prime time to maybe find that holy Grail knife that’s been on your list for so long.</p>
<p>Friday at last……… lets see, list…...yes. Cash……. Of course. Flea markets or yard sales first?. Yard sales first. After several hours :( Darn it they have been a bit disappointing a few nice things but nothing special. Well on to the Flea Markets.</p>
<p>A lot of new vendors and some old friends. Its gonna be a good day. Well ya made a couple of purchase’s. A couple of decent knives but nothing special. Time to quit for the day. Tomorrow will be better.</p>
<p>Its gotten a bit warm outside and man that AC sure feels good. Time to get the computer fired up and see where your at. But first a nice cold brew will hit the spot. Ok ebay first and check your watch list and as your checking it.</p>
<p>You hear a voice…….. you look like you need a short break……. Ya know that’s not a bad idea but you gotta get done first and in a bit again the voice……… Why don’t ya relax for just a short bit…….. and your thinking that’s a pretty good idea.</p>
<p>Out of the corner of your eye you are eyeballing the Sofa and the voice again…… thats right come on over and sit and relax. While your here set the recliner back just a bit. Ya think to yourself now thats a great idea. So you kick off your shoes and take that light blanket and pull it over you.</p>
<p>Nice and comfy now just relax a bit more says the voice And,and,and and ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz Your back at the flea market and there’s a vendor you hadn’t seen before. So you go over and see what he’s got……. Lots of things and several display cases with some very nice knives.</p>
<p>While your looking…..WAIT! Is that the knife thats on the top of your list……. It can’t be but yes it is. As you try to not look real interested in it and keep looking at other knives. You finally pick it up and casually look it over and ask…….. What are you asking for this one.</p>
<p>The vendor says well thats a bit of a special one and quotes a rather high price. Now for the fun part……… :) haggeling on the price. You finally get the vendor down on the price and as you reach into your pocket for the cash</p>
<p>You hear this voice…….. Honey…… What would you like for supper…. Huh….what..wha….. Honey what would you like for supper and you wake up.</p>

<p>A couple of decades ago we could open a book or two and get a fair idea of what that knife had been selling for in the last year. Well, no such easy process exists for us now.</p>
<p>We constantly get questions about value and we do our best to research what has recently sold online.

<p>We constantly get questions about value and we do our best to research what has recently sold online. That process works rather well for manufactured knives and even a few current and prolific custom makers. Not so well for older knives that are not readily available, lesser known manufactures or other customs. It also does not take into account what the knives may be selling for at a show. </p>
<p>How do YOU determine the value of a knife?</p>
