One of the best things about IKC and other knife clubs and forums is interacting with good folks.  They seem naturally drawn to collecting, talking and learning about knives.  I hope next time to attend on Friday also since there are many good things like the Auction and dinner that occur then.  I did not know how the Auction money was utilized and its purpose.  The news is good, but not surprising  considering the caliber of the People and Company involved.  One of the other ways that Case contributes to the Charity Run (and the part that led to my confusion) is that the Case Zippo Museum is listed in the Reunion Brochure as the registration site for the run.  Just another example of how Case helps!

Gerald,

OK, those folks sure timed that well then.  You good folks representing CCC did a great job at the dinner by raising that much (sounds of applause)

Jan I don't think Case has anything to do with the Ride for Cancer. Here's a link to the Charity the money goes to. The CCC Forum group help a silent auction at our dinner and raised $3342.

All I can say is wow. Hopefully I will be able to make one of these in the future. It sounded like a super fun time.

Bill and Gerald,

Thanks for posting all of that.  I am so glad the trip was great for you all.  I applaud Case for both the Ride for Cancer and the Veterans special knives at the breakfast.  That is the sign of company that is reaching out to the collecting community and paying forward!  God Bless them!!

Thanks Clint.  The Reunion was a super good time.  The Grand Prize Cheetah is posted by Gerald Hines below.  It is one  great looking knife for certain!  I really enjoyed looking at all of Gerald's pics of the Reunion at his photo bucket link.  Best regards

Bill did you say Pearl Cheetah? WOW!!  What a beautiful swing blade!  I could see me deep in the woods of Idaho searching for the elusive Bigfoot armed with this beauty.....and a .44 magnum revolver.

Bill great report and pics.  I guess I will have to make this event sometime...after I hit the lottery as I would buy up all of the swing blades.  In fact they would find me in the parking lot....crushed flat.  The local paper would have the headline, "Bazaar Death, Man Crushed By A Ton of Case Knives".

Gerald,   I would have really enjoyed meeting you.  Hopefully  we can in 2014.  Thank you for posting your pics.  I liked looking at them and even though I was there ,  they really helped fill in some of the things that I missed.  For certain,  I will make a point to see the exhibitors tent if I am able to make it to Bradford again.  Were the collection displays set up on both days or only Friday?   For certain the trip was a real blast!!!   Best regards,  Bill

Bill I'm sorry I missed you, but with 600 or so folks at the breakfast it's hard to meet everyone.I was number 235.

This was the grandprize knife.
