iKnife Collector
National Knife Collector Association- Local Chapter
The local chapter of the National Knife Collectors Association. Our little place to discuss the needs of knife collectors and for feedback and ideas for this important knife organization.
NKCA
I too am a 'Life Member'; also a 'Knife World' Ambassador (Life member) and would like to candid about the 'NKCA'. This organization ceased to be viable many, many years ago. Doubt what I have said? Email me privately and I will explain. There is no reason why this had to happen and it pains me to have to face facts. I could only hope that 'it' might be revived in some fashion or another but that involves time and money. I remember when Jim Parker bought the property in Chattanooga for the museum and remember touring it and marveling at all the exhibits; right LeRoy? OK, I'm starting to sound 'old' so I'll stop here and let you all reflect.

The NKCA officially closed August 1, 2016. I sad day in the knife industry.

I wonder if Lisa even goes to knife shows anymore, even if just as a person walking the aisles looking at knives. She devoted so much of her life, it's hard to believe that she would cut herself off completely from everything knife related. On the other hand, she basically stole $40,000 of peoples money by taking knife orders and never making the knives.

Sad to hear. I have been away from knifemaking for a while as work has really occupied my time to the exclusion of all else for most of the last 20 years. Now I find that a lot of the old groups are simply nonexistent. Are there still clubs, knife shows ect? it seems like there is a lot more interest in knifemaking, is it all entirely online? I realise this post is pretty old...
