What is going on in knife collecting is two things 1) many of the collectors of old knives are not active on the Internet, and 2) the next generation is very active and they don't collect old knives.

I am not a believer in the "old dogs can't learn new tricks," so let your friends who do collect old knives know about iKC and I'll help them learn this trick.

We have all seen here the Internet, and iKC, provides one heck of a way to connect and stay in touch, build on friendships and make new ones, so please get the word out to those you know who have yet to get active online.

This looks like the kind of group i need. I had no idea my collecting of old pocket knives was such a minority in the knife business. Anybody interested in Cattaraugus, Winchester, or Jack Knife Ben knives give me a shout.

That is a nice looking Winchester. A very usable knife.

Vintage anything is hard to maintain and handle at same time. If finger oil wasn't so corrosive. I'd carry the new prize and clean it but miss a spot and then a year later there is that horrible pit. So I have drifted towards the Older Queen Steel for the Ametican Flavor and several of the German Rostfrei Soligens.

Way to set the tone here, Kevin. Really nice Winchester. What is that pattern name, or is it just a #?

I wanted to be the first one to post an oldie. I already posted a pick of my Pocketeze on the American Knife Collectors Club so how about this Winchester 1932 to 42 Winchester for the Vintage American Knives.

Yea I carry tacticals but I collect pocket knives. So this is a good idea. Well I carry pocket knives also. Never have to many knives on you.

Thanks. Didn't want all of us who like the old ones to have to join the tactical group :)
Thanks for joining us.
