Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

iKnife Collector

The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel

I am new to iKC, Where Do I Start?

We're glad to have you in the iKC Community. To get the most out of it, we suggest you do the following:

1. Make your "My Page"...Your page- Here's how: Add a profile pic, tell us about your interests, are you on Facebook or YouTube? What knives do you collect and for how long? Why did you join iKC?

2. Introduce Yourself- In our Forum we have a discussion started http://www.iknifecollector.com/forum/categories/new-members-discuss... Stop by and tell us a little about yourself. Its a great spot to 'break the ice' and get on with becoming a full fledged member of iKC.

3. Join an iKC Group- While iKC is a community of all knife collectors, our Groups are mini-communities for special interests. Check out the groups, join one that interests you, and start connecting with like-minded folks. In a Group you can post discussions and pictures, even like existing ones.

4. Start a Blog- Each iKC member has a blog account. Take advantage of yours. Our blogs are intended for informational purposes that benefit our community, like a type of knife you collect, knife things you are passionate about, collection trends, etc. remember you are reaching into a Community of Collectors and others involved in the hobby. Make it important enough to be read.

5. Upload pics of your favorite knife. This is also done on your "My Page" Then create an album for them. It's like pulling out your wallet to show off your kids.

If you have questions about using our community, check the Member Help menu. Still stumped, PM me, I'll help.

Relax and enjoy iKC. There is a lot to see and do and your contributions are needed and appreciated.

Looking great, Kenneth! By the way, at the top left corner of the text window when you post is a small "Image" icon. If you want to add photos to your post, click that icon and follow the steps. That will post it for all to see, instead of a filename at the bottom. :-) Hope you enjoy the site!
