The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
This group began as we followed Knives Live together and had some fun. I have made the choice for it to remain as a place to put up pics of members trips, deals, and SMKW discussions

SATURDAY GUN AND KNIFE SHOW WITH SMKW
The new knife show will be a combination of the round man with the square deal and SMKW

Not sure if Colt counts as an SMKW "House Brand" so I'll post this here.
Here is my current fave SMKW purchase, (one of them at least). Colt Scout Utility with Blue Jigged Bone #CT734. Best scout knife I own, (have a couple of old Imperials too). I want to get a Case version one day, but this knife is extremely well made and will do until I win the lottery, (and therefore able to order a Case). I especially like that this one has no bail; I carry it in a belt sheath. Very solid knife, especially for a measly 15 bucks.
Before I ask the powers that be, can any of us identify the years this tang may have been in use? SMKW tang
Steve Koontz and Tony Watkins were the main hosts for Knives Live TV. Jay Parker would fill in when Steve or Tony were unavailable. Later Josh Hill joined the three of them but in the beginning Josh was host for Tactical Knives TV.
Tactical Knives TV was intially hosted by Josh Hill and John Setzer. John didn't work out and Steve started co-hosting along with Josh.
(I think before the Tactical Knives, Josh was also involved with a very short lived SMKW project called the Knife Cave or something like that. It basically evolved into the Tactical Knives TV.)
Josh was later moved into the Knives Live Rotation as Jay Parker was often on the road buying collections for the SMKW and the the show. (remember all of those Randalls? This allowed Tony and Jay to concentrate on their other jobs at SMKW.
Once Steve was let go, Tony, Jay and Josh took turns rotating through hosting Knives Live TV and Tactical Knives TV sort of went away and was blended into the rest of KLTV.
It should also be mentioned that Brian Wilhoite and Travis Ferguson also occasionally co-hosted the show. Kevin Pipes also showed up on a few occasions as well as his son, Chase.
Josh, Jay and Tony publicity shot for the show soon after Steve's departure.
Just,
you can reach them and request the collectors cabinet catalogs at Collector's Corner: collectibles@smkw.com
BTW Judy, the third guy was Josh Hill. He tended to cut himself quite a bit. He even cut himself on the very last show they did. He even commented that it was appropriate that he did that.
But I did something that I doubt that even Josh never accomplished. I cut myself with three blades of the same knife at the same time! It was a six blade stockman and I was opening all six blades to take pictures. The knife slipped and three of the blades got me.
Judy, SMKW sells knives on eBay as mvpknife. They have flat rate shipping of $5. If you order more than one knife and combine orders it is $1 per additional knife.
If you order off SMKW's web site, the minimum shipping is $8.99.
I am always looking to buy more knives for my collection.. I have been told the guys that did the tv show at Smoky also sell knives online. Can anyone tell me how to find out where they sell? I always liked the stuff they had on their shows. I think Tony was one guy and Jay was on some too. Any help is appreciated
Jan, the "kid in a toy store feeling" pretty well nails it. If you like knives, how can you not love a visit to SMKW! As for what is my favorite part, it is hard to pick out one specific thing. There is just so much to see. All the exhibits and displays on the walls and in cases. You could spend days there to take in everything in detail. And of course there is all the knives. And now guns and ammo. But if I had to pick a favorite part of a visit there, it would have to be finding a special knife to buy. One that I have been looking for or one that just caught my eye and I had to have it!
