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
Thank you for having me Jan. I appreciate you all and look forward to spending some time on here sharing ideas and hearing about the thing we all have in common!
Miss Jan, I started a little contest in the Discussion Outdoor Adventures for Spring 2014. Anyone posting a picture or a story get's a chance. The contest is in my Outdoor group, for the month of May.
I'll mail you the knife and let you draw a winner at the end of May. I hope it's not to much trouble for you. I think it will be fun and help get members active. Thanks Rob.
I appreciate the warm welcome. Looking forward to picking up a lot if good info and maybe a knife or two if I'm lucky. Once I figure out navigating this place. It's huge. Lol.
Hi Miss Jan, I hope you are doing fine. I was wondering, if you have received the little Queen knife for the Outdoor contest, you could post a picture for us. Thanks, for all you do for us. Rob.
Hi Miss Jan & Donnie, it is getting close to the end of May and my little contest. I wanted you to draw a lucky winner. I just wanted you to know that, Howard Reynolds and Thomas Bennett, mint to enter in the right place but instead, started a new discussion. They thought, they were posting in the right spot. I was hoping, that you would let them be entered in the contest.
I also forgot about the shipping cost. Let me know the cost and I'll send you some stamp money. Thank Ya'll for everything, your good buddy, Rob.
Hope your having a most pleasant day Jan. just dropped in to say hi and tell every one how nice the new knives that have been put up are. Good looking blades.
Jan, I want to than you for all you have done for me here on ikc. Ever since I have arrived you have been nothing but kind and supportive of my work and efforts. It's good to have a friend like you! God bless you.
Miss Jan, I am having trouble with my Debit card. I lost it and had to reapply. If it's okay, I would like to mail you a check or money order? Please let me know if it's alright.
Good day Jan , hope and pray alls as good as can be. I just knottiest the buy sale group and that it says I must have your ok to participate. So what do I do or say to get in.
Thanks for your kind words on my knife/knives! I need to work a little harder in the shop and elsewhere and actually try to sell a few knives! I see that Donnie is doing pretty well with his knives. He is a few steps ahead of me with his knowledge of forging. I am still doing blanks and stock removal.
You all take care. We have to get together some time when you and Donnie are up this way!
Jan, For me Christmas came early this year. I received a package with a community knife, a Colonel Coon stockman, an iKnife coffee cup and a pocket magnifier. What a great surprise. I had a really good time drinking coffee from my new cup while inspecting my new knives. Thank you. Jim
Hi Jan Just letting you know I have had a couple of 'phishing' attempts via the iknife site this is a copy of one ..Stephanie Assa added a comment to your profile on iKnife Collecto Hello Dear, How is everything with you,I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately.I have something very vital to disclose to you,but I found it difficult to express myself here,since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on(stephanie.assa@yahoo.co.th)for the full details. Have a nice day.thanks Stephanie Assa.

Hey Jan, hope recovery is going well. Tell Donnie that Capn Randy and I are working on his forge as time permits and might get to test run it before the end of the month.
I'm guilty as anyone about not posting here on iKC. Barely have time to read a few of the posts that catch my eye. I moderate on a couple of other forums and by the time I finish duties there I need to be in the shop not sitting here. It's not due to lack of interest. I have noticed the traffic on many of the other forums has slowed a bit as well. Guess a lot of us are just too busy.
Hope things will pick up a bit as winter sets in and outdoor activities slow.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, hope you are doing well!
