Can anyone provide any info regarding the NKCA knives that are to be shipped out.  I've called, emailed, texted, and Facebook messaged Lisa repeatedly for 3+ months without any contact back from her.  The voice message on her answering machine said that the combo 2014/2015 knives would be shipping out in October 2015.

I'm not trying to cause problems or complain, I just want some sort of update.  I would love to get my knife that I paid for 20 months ago, but if there is no knife to get, I would like a refund.

The last info I had regarding the 2014 ordered knives was that in Jan 2015, the NKCA was still accepting orders to try and get a large enough quantity to have made.  Then recently, I heard that the knife we all ordered is going to be a combo knife representing both 2014 and 2015 together.  If that is the case, I would imagine we won't get the knife in hand until around Christmas time this year, perhaps later.

I realize the NKCA has had some problems the last few years. I have been an active member for several years and I think Lisa has done a very good job trying to hold things together. My complaint is I paid for a 2014 club knife, $195.90 over a year ago and still have not received the knife. I would like to get the knife or get some communication about it.

I've heard from other collectors that there is a lack of enthusiasm as far as getting a group of leaders willing to donate time and money and experience to run the NKCA.  I appreciate all the Lisa does, but it seems she's the only one doing anything for the organization.  There are a lot of loud complainers, but not many willing to step up and handle finances, bookkeeping, membership accounts, monthly updates, etc.

I did what I could.  I live too far away to meet with anyone in person, so I offered my services to help showcase all past Club & Youth knives on the NKCA website, along with their descriptions.  However, again, there is no one other than Lisa to handle that responsibility either.

Dear NKCA members,

I believe that it is time for all NKCA members to call for a 'General' Election' of officers and 'BOD' members. Giving credit where credit is due for current members, it is now time to move on.I am not placing blame or 'throwing shade' at anybody for past performance. The past is over and done with but the future of the NKCA hangs in the balance. Fellow members, if you value this organization, please make yourself heard, as I am doing and start the 'wheels in motion' for a new president and 'BOD'. This can be accomplished by sending a letter to the NKCA or message on its Facebook page. Full disclosure; I am not a candidate for any NKCA office or position. I am, however, an NKCA Life Member who deeply regrets not speaking out during the 'Cargill' administration when there was still a chance to save the Chattanooga museum for posterity. NKCA members, elect a president and 'BOD' that will return the NKCA to a financially sound, respected and visible organization that its members can be proud of.

Thank you

Charles the NKCA is still an organization, Lisa was at the Blade Show and NKCA knives were auctioned at Tony Bose table.  I too am a life member

Guys,

I forwarded this to Lisa.  I was not aware the 2014's have not been delivered.  I hope we get some answers for you

Yep, I agree.  I ordered my knife in Feb 2014, so it's been 14 months waiting now.  I was told in Jan 2015 that they were still taking orders.   ? ? ?   (or waiting/hoping for more orders).   I agree about a simplified knife also.  There is nothing wrong with the Prater knives, they look very nice.  But it's been every knife made since 2010 (both club and youth).  I would like something different for a change, like just plain stag or jigged bone.  I'm sure it would help the price out as well for members.
