Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm digging through old bags and drawers to see what I have left over from the old days, and then I can figure out my web cam for uploads of them... til then I will will have font about them instead of photo them. ;)

You need to do a new poll here in iKC.
Age, yrs collected, avg $ amount spent on knives per month, etc
Maybe wait till we hit 1750 members or something?
I'm really curious as to the new avg. age of member....

Nice collection of knives. I've never seen one of those sunfish/elephant toe knives in person, just pictures. They look real neat. I'm gonna have to get one sometime. Maybe I'll 'try' to make one one of these days. Nice site you have here too. Well, see you around, Jesse

3)Pick a number between 1 and 500
