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 for your reply to my quick question - at least it's not just me. And, well, it did keep an ol' Pole busy!  :-)

  • Lyle Fry

    Yes Jan those SFO Lick Creeks are mine. Nice to see you again at Knife Days.

  • Austin Jackson

    Thanks for the happy birthday wish Jan! It was good to finally meet and I will be emailing soon to talk about ideas.

  • Laurence Ruggiero

    The 20% off deal was great. I just wasn't attentive enough. Sorry.

  • Art Cooper

    Regarding the sale, a 20% discount is more than a bargain and discount should never go lower than that.

    Two thoughts I want to share and consider I am perhaps not a typical member as I have very limited areas of collecting: first, all items up for sale should be on one page so that when I go to "shop" I see them all, even if it means scrolling or additional pages; second, I did not buy anything because I did not see anything I wanted.

    I am a collector first and a member of iknife second. If products were more about "I collect knives" as primary with tag at bottom for iknifecollector.com at bottom, they would be more appealing to me. I want others to know I collect knives and am less interested in advertising the web site.

    Talk to me about my knife collecting and then I will add a recommendation for another collector to check out the site.

    Just my thoughts for what they are worth.

     

  • Carl Bradshaw

    20% is quite a nice deal.  It just doesn't fit my collecting style, as 95% of the knives I buy are older knives.  I buy a new knife probably only once every 2 years.

  • Billy Oneale

    I looked at the 20% off. Just no available extra funds right now.
  • Ken Mundhenk

    Jan thanks for the birthday wish. Hope Donnie is feeling better.
  • Martin Lynx

  • Ron James

    Thank you for the Birthday pic.. . I am glad to be a part pf a community where tradition and quality are honored, rather than the flashy blades of the future. And the people here are great, as most collectors are. Willing to share knowledge, and help a friend on need. The best thing about this birthday, is I am alive to enjoy it. I hate getting old, but the alternative sucks.

  • Ray Parsons

    Hello Jan.  Thank you for the warm welcome. I am looking forward to becoming a positive member at your site.  I still cannot figure out how my account was completely erased from your database.  When I first began having problems signing in, I should have tried contacting you. It wouldn't take my password and when I tried to get a new one, it wouldn't work either.   But, I waited till last Oct to contact you, which was too late since my account no longer existed.  Don't recall now, but there was a very unique knife that was only on here. Didn't exist anywhere else on the internet and I wanted to get the details but couldn't and I didn't want to open up another acct. since I already had one.  Again, thank you Jan. Ray

    Thanks for the happy birthday wishes.  I wish I could say my health is improving, but it isn't at the moment and I just am not making many knives right now.  I am probably at the stage where I am going to sell part of my collection and pare down to the ones I really want to keep.  I hope you are doing well and take care.   Sam
