<p>We lost some friends that passed too soon, even those not unexpected saddened us</p>
<p>We watched over and prayed as friends said good bye to family and loved ones</p>
<p>We met many new friends, saw new knives and celebrated Birthdays, Anniversaries and the births of many including Henry Hanner</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><em>For us personally it was a year of joy, loss and iKC. This is my place to unwind, to meet my friends around the world for coffee in the morning and talk of knives. It is where I come after work to catch up, see who got a new knife and who added what to their wish list. I have learned more here than any single place I can think of. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us, for inviting us into your homes and lives.</em></strong></p>

<p><strong>I just had to share with you the warranty info on Jeff's page</strong></p>
<p><font size="2" face="comic sans ms">It has a complete lifetime warranty on materials and craftsmanship. Any malfunction due to materials or craftsmanship under normal using conditions will be repaired for free. You can ship your product to the address found on this website but please contact us first so we know to watch for your returned item.</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="comic sans ms"> The "Catch" - Yes, sorry folks but we have a loophole to our warranty. The "lifetime" in "lifetime warranty" means Jeff's lifetime. Sorry but unfortunately when Jeff takes up residence at Boot Hill there will be no one to repair your product for free. Jeff's son Dylon is going to college and has no interest in continuing Jeff's business. But Jeff hopes to be able to warranty your products for many years to come!</font></p>
