In Memoriam Comment by Scott King on October 17, 2013 at 14:49: Thanks Jan for making my auction an event here at iKC. It's gonna be exciting and I'm sure there'll be a lot of deals. Coming out of the great recession like we are might not be the best time to sell these, so I hope folks do real well with their purchases. Also, I wrote the descriptions myself, from a collector's point of view, so you can bid with confidence knowing the condition of each knife. Usually, the auctioneers do that, but I wanted folks to know I'm gonna do it right and in painful detail. It took me over a month to describe each knife into their online catalog. But I'll be happy to answer any questions, if anyone wants to contact me directly. scott@iknifecollector.com 256.295.4715 cell. Thanks for helping me get the word out iKC fans!

Comment by Steve Hanner on October 17, 2013 at 9:15: Hopefully everybody will at least look at the YouTube that Scott produced that shows some of history of toenail knives. Its quite incredible even if its not what you collect.
