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 a lot for your nice birthday card, Jan, an (late but sincere) congratulations for your election to the National Knife Museum's Board of Directors.
Thanks for the comments on the "dawn of a new era" whittler pix. Exotic handled knives are difficult, especially in pearl, to photograph. I struggled with this one until I put it on a a black background. I talked to Ryan about this knife at our April knife show & he indicated they sold fast. I was fortunate to find that Frank (thru his ad on I Knife) had one for sale on his web site.
Thanks for the invite to your last Friday night's get together with you and the other nice folks here at iKC and SMKW. It was another evening of good humor and a fun time.
Speaking of time, I spent some time watching your videos links tonight, including your National Knife Museum Tour, which I only now understand is under the roof of SMKW. With this in mind, and with the shared good will and hospitality of iKC and SMKW, I thought I should let you know that I opened up a credit line tonight at SMKW and purchased a few choice pieces of nickel silver bolstered, bone scaled, old school, slip joint cutlery. Thanks to you, Jan, for your introduction to the crew at SMKW. If you talk with them any time soon, please take the credit and let them know that it was you and iKC who made the introduction and facilitated the sale.
lol..got a WOW on that congress huh? that was a great find a few years back.was able to get my camera charged enough to get a few more snaps..one came out blurry..will re-do tomorrow...will try to put up some schatts/queens tomorrow if i get the time. have a great night! btw..i really like the way gec does their mammoth...very smooth. case leaves it more rough... which my wife likes better. matter of opinion i guess..have a great night..over and out! ;-} ... Jeff
Thanks Jan! Same to you. I have spent several hours on here again today - reading, reading, reading. What a FANTASTIC place. Thanks again for your help yesterday evening.

Miss Jan, I received my knife from Mr. Larry Prigon. It came out great, I am waiting for my photographer to get a few pictures on IKC. Soon I hope. Thanks for your help with the project. It's great news about Steves Grand son.
Thanks Jan. Seeing you on Kinves Live Friday night is where I learned of this site. I watch kinves live Tues and Fridays,never miss it. I've ordered a lot of knives from them and they have excellent service. Looking forward to everything available here.
Thanks Jan. Wow, I'm very impressed by the many "welcome" notes I received after joining your crew! Seems like a very friendly place. Can you tell me how to change my profile photo? I uploaded a photo when I initiated my membership, but that pic seems to have been replaced by some other photo. I uploaded the photo again to my page, but I can't figure out how to get that pic to be my primary profile pic. I am totally new to this type of "forum / chat" website, so I hope you won't mind me asking for help. Really looking forward to participating here! Thanks - Jon Salmon
Morning Jan and thanks for the comment on my "Case Triple Crown" set of knives. I have known about this Case issue foe several years and never dreamed I would have the privilege of having a set in my collection.
Thank you very much Jan. Aren't you one of the 10 people that won a Queen Cutlery knife the night that Ryan Daniels was on the KnivesLIVE Show?? If you did, have you received your knife yet?? I also won but I haven't received my knife yet. I emailed Ryan but haven't heard from him as of yet??
Hi Jan & thanks for the reply; I sent it to Ryan Daniels, Queen Cutlery Company. After a while I went to his facebook page & sent him a message there. I still have his message to me stating that I was one of the 10 winners, that email came fron Facebook and right after Facebook it has: <notification+kr4m2wmxmwex@facebookmail.com>
I guess I'm going to have to get the companies phone # & call him???
Thanks Jan (I'd appreciate any HELP you can get for Me)
Miss Jan, I have not received, that Filet Knife, you spoke of. I hope nothing has gone wrong. Please let me know, what is up, I don't want to be responsible for something, I didn't get. Thanks for the opportunity, to review the knife. Bless Ya'll heart.
The blade is 12C27 stainless, satern finished to P1200. The bolster is 303 stainless With partial stippeling. The handle is Tamboti (from South Africa). Blade lenth is 96mm and the overall length is 207mm
Miss Jan, I have a little problem. I'm trying to sign up for the Knifeshow.com but it keeps saying my pass word is wrong. Something like, alpa numerca, I don't know what they mean. I tried all kinds of pass words and still no go. Help please. Rob
Jan, it's so good to hear from you!!!
I tried to send you a message on a couple of occasions, but they never went through and I gave up the effort. I shouldn't have.
I apologize for my lack of contact and my rude and inexcusable silence. I have failed as a friend. I have been missing you guys so much, I hope you are all doing well.
I am but a ghost of my former self, I haven't written, I haven't taken a picture and I haven't bought a knife in a little over 5 months. Does that sound anything like Johnny Twoshoes?
I have visited IKC on a few occasions and I'm so happy to see the new faces and the new look of this place, it's really something awesome.
You guys have been on my mind for the last month or so, I pray when you guys come to mind.
I have a lot to share with you all and I am trying to get back to it, but I need to find my heart again before I make it.
I will be attending the Rendezvous as always, but I won't be there until Saturday.
I cannot send you a private message for some strange reason???
Miss Jan, the White River knife came in today. "Sho is perty" ; best looking filet knife, I have ever seen. The fish better watch out, we're on a mission. lol
Thanks so much for the Birthday message! It meant a lot to me. Had a great day fishing with my wife and dog. Doesnt get any better....oh...yes it does! I got to use my knife!!! We didnt get skunked.
Miss Jan, last night I bought a WW1 Hobo knife, in good condition. A Court House exhibition, from a small town, sold it to me. With a blade on one side and a spoon on the other, it looks like a Moose..lol I am really excited. I'll post a picture on the club when I get it. Oh yea, it's Solingen German made. One tang stamp has a figure and the name TAHL....SHNIZ?.....Solingen. The question mark, stands for a letter, I can't make out. These three words are in a circle with what looks like a bird with long legs and feet. With no head.
I know you may not know what it is, I just had to tell you about it. Hey maybe Miss Sue would know? Bless Ya'll. Have a great day, Donnie, Too.....Rob
Hi Jan, Thanks for the Birthday wishes. I will not be able to get to the Queen show, but hope you guys have a great time. How are the Mutz club knives coming along? Best of luck.... Warren - "Lone Wolf".
Miss Jan, I've been working on the knife review for the White River knife and was wondering how the want it? First I have a story type and the short version. I thought, I'd put the story type on "Sharper Review Group" but do they want the shorter version too? I have both almost finished, Sorry it took a while, I had a lot of things going on around here.
Thanks for the wonderful welcome, Jan. It was an honor to meet you and Donnie in person, and spend a little time!
I will lie low until I learn the ropes here. Those Barlows have my full attention at the moment - over 400 made, and only 100 left, since the debut at the Rendevous!!
Thanx for all the warm welcomes messages.... Found a Buck dating question that was the same one I had, came here to read thread and it solved the mystery... Thought I better sign up!
Kaylin Robinton
Thanks! And LOL true!!! I've heard him talk about this site so much every day and sooner or later I was like I HAVE GOT TO CHECK IT OUT. Lol :D
