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
Miss Jan, I'd like one more chance to use the White River Filet knife, in the next few days. I will have some fish and turtles to clean, after that, I'll wright a little review. I will then be finished with it and I can send it back. Please just tell me where to send it. Thanks again for this opportunity to review this knife. Your Buddy, Rob.
Thanks for the welcome Jan. I appreciate the nice comment about my website. I just changed to a new format/look. So, I must apologize for some things not being transferred yet. I have many more links to add and a load of photos to post in the galleries. I visit every link and check that they work, often, using a link checker program. I hope it is helpful to everyone. I'll look the forum over and learn the ropes.
Thanks! I already feel warmly welcomed here. Lots of nice people. I look forward to digging into the collection I've been tasked to look at and know it will be a ton of fun and education for me. And hopefully a little fun for others.
Miss Jan, bad news. They are going to cut on me again Sept. 26. The doctors are trying to get more blood flow to my back and legs. They have done this before and it helped. This will be #18 surgery. I just knew, I couldn't make it a year without a surgery. Please pray for me, the girls, can't loose me now.
Hey Miss Jan, Charles Sample, wants to start a photo contest, in the Gun group. I told him I'd help get it going. You can read about it in the Outdoor Group. What do you think? What should we do?
Yep! I had just taken the fur down earlier in the day. But now I know why I grew a beard to begin with. You ladies have make-up to hide behind. Us old guys use facial hair to hide the wrinkles and the sagging jowls. Like I said -- Now I remember why I grew the beard in the first place. *Ouch!*
But, hey! It's a nice change of pace. For a while, at least.
Miss Jan, how are you and Donnie? I was wondering about the knife contest, I offered. Any ideas? Please, let me know. I am just trying to excite the members, when things slow down.
thankyou very much miss jan for the kniife,i love!daddy says it the best squirrel and rabbit knife he ever seen.and its pink camo.my first neck knife.i have to go to school now.chalee
Thank you Jan! We just returned from the Tulsa show - wow! If you haven't been there yet, you should go in the Spring. Mostly guns- but with 4,200 tables, there are a LOT of knives too. Some very nice collections. Say Hi to Don...
I did not realize you lived in Tampa untill the other day. I love the Tampa area, and Clearwater beach also. Busch gardens is great too. I have been to Tampa many times.
You folks that are looking for "different" knife events to attend....all are welcome to attend my Trackrock Hammer-ins in Blairsville, GA. Not the typical Hammer-in event. I hold two a year, spring and fall, open and free to the public. I will be posting an announcement after the first of the year, but the date has been set for the last weekend in March 2014.
thanks for looking . this knife is a 4 inch 2 blade pocket wi= th what looks like ether celluloid, bakealight maybe bone but i think a kin= d of plastic. the large blade is the only one marked. (timon germany)= . looks to be about 50 or 60s. i resived it and two imperials about the sam= e age. i'v all ways been a bottle collector or coins. when move= d i found all the knives i have and thought i should learn a little more ab= out them then just liking the way they feel and look. wish i could spend mo= re time with the group but you dont see many from Oregon so by the time i g= et on line its late back east. i do appreciate any help. hope it worm= ed up a little for you
I have not worked up the official announcement for the Spring event. Under heavy workload right here before Christmas (typical for a knifemaker). You can Google "Trackrock Hammer-in" and Trackrock.com for more general info. If you are a member on KNF or Bladeforums a "search" will bring up a lot of past event info with pics as well.
Makes for a great camping weekend getaway. I will send you the formal announcement for posting sometime in Jan.
Hi Miss Jan, I hope you are doing fine. The other day an idea came to me, about our great club members. So I thought, I'd share it with you. You may disregard the idea if, you think it's not practical.
The idea is to pick and honor a Member of the year, for our club. We don't need to spend money for a prize, it would just be an honorary type thing. The one person that has contributed the most to our club. We could even have a runner up. My two picks would be Tobias Gibson and Ken Spielvogel. Let me know what you think. The end of the year is almost here. Oh an no Board Members, could be considered, sorry. Because, you would win, hands down....lol
