About Me
My Husband Donnie and I live in Hiawassee GA. I was Blessed to have found iKC and became the owner in October of 2012. I believe all knife collectors are created equal, no matter what type they collect. iKC brings a different direction to knife collecting in my opinion, you may not personally like something or have an issue with a particular company. But respect is a substantial aspect of what we are about. I have a strong faith and believe everyone is entitled to theirs.
Interests
History, fishing, Diving, knife collecting and about a billion other things LOL. My main interest these days is iKC and bringing the future generations into knife collecting.
Other Hobbies
there are other hobbies? OK, I found one! Watching my husband learn to build knives

    Thanks Jan. My son Blake is 14. We have no real hobbies so we decided to collect knives together. We don't even have favorites yet but but I'll probably collect pocket knives. He loves machetes. We're just getting started and looking for any tips we can get. Thanks again

    Hey nice lady, I tried to send Greg a message on TSA web site and I guess I messed it all up. Then I tried to Gmail him and I think I did even worse. My grand girl is at the football and not able to help. I'm good for the bet.

    Thank you, Jan, I appreciate that.

     

    I am Pat Washmon   pwashmon@sbcglobal.net   817/ 494- 6698 

     

    PLEASE, HELP ME MOVE THESE KNIVES TO SOMEONE THAT WOULD APPRECIATE THEM.

     

    I have some Buck, Case and Queen Cutlery knives that I would like to move.

     

    I HAVE 2 sets of 8 piece cactus filled handles steak knife set from Buck.  There were less than 10 sets ever made by Buck.  These sets were presented to top Buck Knife Sales Representatives in the late 1970s.  These knives are in a presentation box and are in great condition as they were the day awarded by Buck.  $675. each

     

    I HAVE ONE 8 piece stag handle XX steak knife set from Case.  These knives are in a presentation box and have never been used since their purchase in 1980.  $250.

     

    I HAVE A Queen Cutlery boot knife.  This was one of the very original knives made and does not come with a sheath. The original boot knives did not come with a sheath.  $50.

    FROM QUEEN  I also have a stag handled Toothpick. .-  Etched on the blade is 60th Aniversay  1 of 1000.  This knife comes in a presentation box.    $50

    ALSO FROM QUEEN is a stag handle Easyopener.  This knife is a proof of the 1000 made by Queen in 1982.    On the blade is etched  MASTER CUTLER 5TH EDITION

    On the bolster is marked 0000.  $50.

     

    Buck’s collectors’ guy says this knife should go for $800 -  Local guys say this Case set should go for $300. – Queen people say that each knife should go for $75 each.

    Pictures can be provided if I am given an email address.

    Thank you,
