The reach of IKC beyond this forum !!

I just have to share this !! Back on December 1st I posted a new discussion "Help dating my Kinfolks Flame Edged Super Hunter". Imagine my surprise to get home from work 2 days ago to find a message on my answering machine from a gentleman from Hickory, North Carolina. (BTW I live in Illinois). He had taken the time to look up my name and city from Ma Bell, and called to tell me about his experience with the knife. In the message he stated he had purchased his at the base exchange in Alaska back in 1964-65. He further stated, that he has used it to skin bear, moose, and even lynx and that it works great!! He left me a return phone number, and I hope to be able to contact him tomorrow to thank him. I'm a retail manager, it is the CHRISTmas season, and I haven't had a chance to call him yet in what most people would consider normal calling hours. If I learn anything new, I will add an additional reply .Personally, I thought it was awesome for him to take the time and trouble to do this!!.

There's a place in Mooresville, about 45 miles from Hickory that may be of help. (http://www.besmartstaysharp.com/) Phone call to them might lead to a repair shop if they can't.
