<p>It seems as we grow older the years become filled with a little more sadness. The knife world lost some valued and loved members Wayne Goddard, A.G. Russell, Jim Sargent and Derrick Bohn to name just a few. Members lost beloved family and iKC lost more cherished members than I care to think about.</p>

<p>But looking back at 2018 I will have some memories to keep me smiling. iKC has afforded us the luxury and privilege of becoming friends with our members. Some, we have met the families and shared great times. This year I could not travel very much, but by way of iKC I was able to be here to celebrate the wedding of STEVE (Manx) & LAURA SCHEUERMAN. We watched Jeremy Buchanan prepare to and then become, a father in law. Not only were we able to watch JJ Smith become a father in law but also, we were able to see his face as he found out he will be a grandfather in 2019!</p>
<p>We know that sometimes life gets in the way and members get too busy to be a consistent part of our community. It is always a joy to see them come back, share with us, they are doing ok and LOOK WHAT I FOUND! That was the case with our own Syd Carr and boy did he add some beauties to share in his collection! We always leave the lights on and will be here to welcome you home.</p>
<p>2019 is officially begun, Gus Marsh is returning with chats on January 3<sup>rd</sup>. Post with us often when you can, share with us your new pointy pals!</p>
<p>May this year bring you joy, love, memories and the sharp objects of your dreams.</p> As we say goodbyetag:iknifecollector.com,2013-12-27:3181080:Topic:10402582013-12-27T18:37:02.930ZJan Carterhttps://iknifecollector.com/profile/JanCarter

<p>A magistrate judge has been assigned to begin discovery from the City and DA Vance in NYC knife laws, and the fight continues</p>
<p>Boston proposed a new license for selling knives over 2 inches</p>
<p>Indiana, Missouri, Texas, Alaska, Tennessee all repealed the antiquated switchblade…</p>

<p> </p>
<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>
