pocket knives.

it funny how no one reaches in there pocket for a knife anymore,pocket clips and neck knives changed all that.sorry, but i still like the feeling of getting a old stockman or a sodbuster and working with it.when i was a kid if some said anyone got a knife,id about break my arm getting it out of my pocket.

Thankful for supporters.

I want to thank all the people that make it a point to a active member on iKC.I get on and want to see how my friends are doing. When your not on I worry,some of us are here everyday. What a bond that is....only we know what that is. iKC to me is like a neighbor. If I don't see it I miss it.

Again to all active members,your not members,your friends. When we are not buying knives this is what we do...sharing knives...talking knives...living knives. This is home!

Grace of God

We call ourselves a knife family. If we are then lets help our brothers and sisters in the Gulf. Our prayers are with you. If you can help in anyway don't be afraid to post. Not preaching, but it can happen to any of us, so let's show our support to our knife family and prove what we say. It might not be more than a shout out, but that means a lot. My prayers are with you. Stay sharp.

Beware the man with one gun...

My dad always said beware the man with one gun, he knows it inside and out. I wonder if its the same with knife people?

bait and switch

I find my  choices in knives change weekly. One week I'm all about you get what you pay for,the next week I make a new buy and say I  could have got 4 of these for what I paid for that.

The knife world is changing and its tough to keep up. I guess that's what keeps us moving on.

If this happens to you let me know so I know I'm not out of focus.

All Most Made It

I was waiting on UPS to deliver my order from SMKW and they were late. My kids beat them home and the four Marbles I had ordered is now just two. So much for being a Dad with two collector offspring. Hope they like them as much as I do. Got to place another order. Bring on tomorrow! I cant wait. Happy Easter everyone! I wonder what my kids are getting for easter? Bet it will be sharp looking.

Taking Chances

Just bought my first knife off of eBay,a giraffe bone hunting knife from England. I'll let you know how this works out.  I'm a little afraid, never bought any out of the states before. Might be a live and learn lesson.

Medicine Blades

I suffer from a sickness called knife collecting. I don't think there's a cure thank goodness, but the same sickness has helped me in stressful times.

A knife and a honing stone works great on stress,better than any pill.

Knife Rescue 101.

Bought a beautiful red stag sharks tooth at a flea market,who ever owned it tried to sandpaper etching off the blade. Shame since this knife was never sharpened,but a great rescue none the less.
