Hi Jan. Still love the site but my job situation has changed and I don't have the spare time to sit at the computer these days like I used to. Still check in once in a while. Hope all is well with you.

Thank you very much sis for the birthday wishes.  Love ya

Thanks Jan.

thank you i have a small collection but i use almost every knife i have.  my dad was a butcher by trade a sharp knife was a must. breaking down a deer or fillet a fish was my main interest in blade needs. 

Thanks Jan for the comment on my Camillus Muskrat. While it is used, it and the other one I have also, have been well taken care of for their age. I have been collecting for a long time but I cannot recall seeing any old Stainless Camillus Rats. Is it possible that Camillus was the first maker to use stainless steel in a pocketknife??? I do not recall in any knife history I have read who the first maker was that used stainless.

thank you every body 4 that warm welcome... every one have a great thanks giving...

Thank you for the warm welcome! I am really enjoying this site. I've been a knife aficionado for nearly 4 decades, with Buck being one of my favorite knife companies.

Yeppers! It just wouldn't be Christmas without an iKC Santa Claus...

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the comment on the Hawbaker Muskrat. I have been looking for one of these for several years. Matter of fact the last few weeks I have scored well on muskrats. So far the wife has kept silent.

Thanks for the comment on the DU muskrat that I got Tom to file work. He did a super job. Will also post tonight a pix of a Prototype of the Whittler that Queen issued for the acquisition of the company by the Daniels family that I recently acquired. Not sure of how many protos' that may have been made but it should be somewhat of a rarity.   

Thank you!!

Thanks for the BD wish!

Happy Birthday, I hope it's a good one. Thanks for everything.

Happy Birthday Jan!

Happy Birthday Jan.

Happy birthday! Hopefully Georgia is treating you well!

Happy Birthday, Jan! After the hectic end-of-year that you and Donnie have had, you should just throw the feet up on the couch, kick back, and do some serious relaxing! Take a day to breathe and take a break! I think we can handle things here for a day while you take a break. Enjoy your day!

Thank You Jan and Donnie for a warm B-Day wish!!!

Thanks for the welcome Jan.  Al

Thanks Jan

Hi, thanks for the friend request! :)

Thanks for your comments on my Otter knife. Still want to thank you for all of your knowledge and time that you share with everyone at iKC. My regards and hope Donnie and yourself are well and enjoying the winter months in your new residence.

  Jan where do we stand with the 2015 club knife?

Hi Jan

Nice to know i'm not the only mug here. 

Thanks for the tip.

  Hi Jan and thanks for the reply. You can put me down for a 2015 club knife no matter what pattern or maker it is but I hope its a Barlow.

Thank you for the birthday wishes.  I love knives but just don't have the time and money to collect anymore.  I often wish I hadn't sold all the knives I had in the past.  Thanks again.

Nice! But does it come with a pound of coffee?  :-)

Hi Jan,

Happy to be here!

Thank you for the warm reception and info.

Sincerely,

Adam

Hey there Jan.  Hope you're well.  You communicate with a lot of members, and I wondered if you might know who I should be contacting about putting new handles on nice old folders.  I've made my interests and questions known in the Knife Repair and Modification group, but haven't received a response yet.  I'm sure you must know who might help me learn about the tools and techniques of handle replacement.  I'm anxious to get started, but need a little direction from an expert.  So far, I'm enjoying this site.  Hope to hear from you soon.

   Thanks for the Quick response Jan.  Just to clarify, I'm wanting to do the work myself, rather than have someone do it for me.  I need help with finding some of the tools needed, like one of those stepped anvils, or "stiddys", slackners, peening hammers, etc, Also I need some tips from others who have done this re-handling work.  How can I contact Muskrat Man?  I don't see him in the members list, or in the Repair & Modification group.  If you read my posts in that group, or on my page, you'll get more of an idea of what I'm after, and what my interests are.  Thanks again.

   Thanks Jan.  If you tell me his name, Maybe I can friend him and pick his brain a little.  I'll look at his site too.

Thank you for the pointers and warm welcome Jan.

My 1910 Robeson Shuredge Straight Razor

did you recognize this 83 Queen Gunstock from your NKCA collection jan?  think I saw 3 of my knives, under display glass while visiting NKCA Collection at SMKW.  made me feel mighty pround too.

Thank You!

Thanks Jan!

Thanks Jan like your coffee cup

Quick Question Jan - please help me understand why some threads have the latest posting on page 1 and work to the oldest on page 6, while others have the latest comments on page 6 and the oldest on page 1? Very confusing...and frustrating. 

Is this just to keep Poles busy guessing all the time?  :-)

Thanks

Good Morning Jan! Thank You for inviting me as a friend! I hope to have many chats!
