I renewed my membership early yesterday 02-08-13

HOWLOUUOOOOO! Hound me if you want I have paid.

Time is running out on that deal for the knife opener because of Valentines day.

Oh, don't forget Valentines day!  You may have to fight the dogs for sleepin' space!

I do think that it was pretty special that Mr. Tony Bose did this with the raffle and helping to support the NKCA! The craftsmanship and quality he puts into everything takes time, and time is money!

OMG, guess I forgot to join, Think I did it now. Looks like a good time to join.

Valentines day, Man you gots to buy that candy way ahead. Had mine hid now for going on a month, Just in case I forget. Don't like sleeping with the dogs

Well we are coming along just fine .  Thanks Charles :)

Thanks for asking :)

It is still a work in progress but it is here

You can get to the pages but you have to point to the line above the words LOL

Hog,

One of my Favorite reasons to join?  You can add your grandchildren for just 5.00.  Keeping the hobby alive is what these folks are all about

Lisa is traveling to the AR show today but did send out an email regarding the winner of the Knife opener.  Congrats to Juan

Wow…!!!!  I have never won a raffle in my whole life…!!  Great news, Lisa, and great to hear from you.  I’m not 100% certain I’ll make it to the show this year so please send it to:
Juan Mendez

Congrats Juan! Great lookin' knife opener!

Hi Everyone, I am helping Jan with making the new NKCA website, and I need some help finding nice photos of some of the Club knives, and Commemorative knives.  If anyone is interested in helping with this project, and willing to let me use a photo of their knife (knives), please let me know.  I have a list of the knives I still am trying to find nice pictures of.  Thanks.

All I have is the Great Easterns, probably won't help you out. Report on the gun and knive show in Valpariso Indiana, too many sore heads. And lots of china

Hi Charles, I don't have the GEC made NKCA club knives yet, 2008 and 2012 I believe.  If you don't mind, could you take a nice picture from straight above with all blades open.  I am going to delete the background so it doesn't matter what they are sitting on.  Also, try to minimize camera flash reflection, and try to get blade etching/tang to show.  Thanks so much for your help.

carl I have the 2006 Great easterns, Think I have a set of the suposadly first ram horn with end cap and without, same number, think they came out in 2007 if I remember right, have to go look at them and tell you the number

if you go look at my pictures they are on the bottom left on the frame of GE's

i wish the nkca would have a  show in november in nashville

I love the Buck Vantage series have 7 of them :-)

Thanks to all that attended the NKCA chat.  That was fun!

Is there a rough estimate of when the 2013 club/youth knives will ship out?  Last year I got mine in September, I assume this year will be the same.  Just curious.

The cutlery family lost a valued and cherished friend today, as did iKC and the Carter family.  Even only knowing Wayne a short time was a gift.

I sincerely regret to inform you of the loss of my dear, loving, friend and Nat'l Knife Museum Board Member, WAYNE KOONS. Wayne suffered a heart attack this morning and passed away about an hour ago. Funeral arrangements will be posted later. (Lisa Sebenick)

Wayne was a good man, and a good friend. He loved knife collecting and devoted a great deal of his time and energy to promoting it, in all sorts of different ways. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who cared as deeply about knife collecting and collectors as Wayne did.

My heart goes out to Mary -- she and Wayne shared a number of wonderful years together and I hope she will take some consolation in the memories they made while traveling around the country in search of knives, knife collectors, and knife history. Lots of happy times, I am sure.

Rest in peace, my friend. Our little world will be a poorer place without you.

Carl,

Lisa is on her way to Memphis and asked that I pass this on for you

Could u please tell Carl the NKCA club knives will hopefully be shipped in June-July. 

Thank you, I appreciate the information. 

Also, I wanted to send my condolences to the Koons family.  Although I never met him, his name was often mentioned when discussing NKCA collectibles and I respect the knowledge that he acquired during his years.

My condolences to the family.

Well Lisa was recently at a show in WV so I am trying to get some pics and news from that one

Havent gotten my news letter!

hey im sorry i have been attending to very very dear family matter...i wont get into it here and now but the NKCA news letters have gone out... when should we expct arrival... KNIFEKNERD i need of fix!!!... thanx STEVE for the update ,and LISA for getting it going again... ...i love pretty paper things with knives in them....LOL...IKC!!!

They were mailed by bulk mail last Friday...see above

We all need to support the NKCA!!

SOMEONE CONTACTED ME ABOUT A MISSING NKCA SHIELD.  I HAVE LOCATED A SHIELD BUT CANNOT FIND THE EMAIL.  PLEASE CONTACT ME

Is it time to renew? Dont let your membership lapse.

There are a few very good groups out there that support our right to own knives and I know the NKCA is active in supporting that effort with them. The NKCA is owned and supported by the members. It is the organization that actively goes and promotes knife collecting. What this means to you and I is there will continue to be interest in our hobby, fellowship with folks that like what we like, shows where we can see knives we dream about and if your investing in this...knife values would drop with no interest in the knives....So renew, join...SUPPORT

Wow, those Tony/VCM paring knives are nice looking.  How many were made total?

Also, congrats to Brad!

Yes, I agree with Carl.  The pairing knives are very nice looking.

People I left a few spots un claimed ,I'd like spare's in case I get into a problem on the build. My plan was to haft those at the end ,with what I like. So I could take two more names at this point & would still allow an extra blade for my 'back up"

These two were shipped today
