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.

Carson,
I will not disagree with anything you have said with the exception of the knives.
The NKCA never owned the Museum it was a separate entity from the very beginning. As for the knives, no they were not sold off. This article here will tell you where they have gone. The current MUSEUM board made the decision that they should still be in the public eye and with folks that could showcase them and take care of them. http://iknifecollector.com/forum/topics/the-nkm-is-moving

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.
