<p>Each year I take stock of what has happened here on iKC and in the knife world in general. 2016 will not go down as my favorite year, it started out rough with the loss of Terry Ray from TC Collectible Cutlery and was quickly followed by the news that Mrs. Jean Sargent had passed suddenly.</p>
<p>Then we lost Ms Cherry Ray and our own Cajun, Robert Burris, Mr. Clarence Risner, Howard P Reynolds, Bob Robinson's wife, Bob Andrews of Old Hundred Knives. It seemed to be the year the Lord was…</p>
<p>Each year I take stock of what has happened here on iKC and in the knife world in general. 2016 will not go down as my favorite year, it started out rough with the loss of Terry Ray from TC Collectible Cutlery and was quickly followed by the news that Mrs. Jean Sargent had passed suddenly.</p>
<p>Then we lost Ms Cherry Ray and our own Cajun, Robert Burris, Mr. Clarence Risner, Howard P Reynolds, Bob Robinson's wife, Bob Andrews of Old Hundred Knives. It seemed to be the year the Lord was needing some mighty fine knife folks.</p>
<p>We lost Warren Osborne, Jack W. Crain, E.G. Smith, Brian Lyttle, Rob Brown and the Christy Knife Company in Fremont Ohio marked its’ 80<sup>th</sup> year.</p>
<p>In the rest of the world from astronauts to entertainers, too many to list. </p>
<p>But as I look through our Prayer group I am able to see iKC at its finest. We grieved but we also rejoiced together.</p>
<p>We shared prayers for fires to be extinguished in multiple states, and multiple times for the victims of lunatics. Syd Carr lost his sister but was able to make the cross country drive to see her, and we were able to meet him in person. Kaleb and Austin Buchanan both recovered well and Charles Sample pneumonia yielded to a full recovery. Dan Fitzgeralds’ wife came home well. </p>
<p>We shared prayers, good thoughts, each other’s fears and each other’s victories as the “Holy Grail” knife was found by quite a few.</p>
<p>iKC may never be the biggest or most active “forum” out there. It is my intention that we will always live up to our moto. A FAMILY FORGED IN STEEL</p>
<p>While it may not have been my favorite year, I did get to go through it with my favorite folks! Thank You all for being here with us. The members here are what make us the best!</p>

<p>Don Carter Forge very rarely sells a knife. It is a hobby he enjoys almost as much as giving a knife to a friend or a young person. The past few years have been quite an adventure for me, watching him learn to take a small piece of tool steel and make it into a hand forged knife. I always try to find something special as our Christmas giveaway and this year Don Carter has agreed to give away a knife made just for iKC.</p>
<p>As the 12th of December gets closer, watch here for the details and how you can be the owner of this knife, just by being online</p>
