    Martin,

    Welcome, and thanks for joining IKC, the “next generation of knife collectors”. Scott King the founder and brainchild of this forum as well as Elephant Toe Nails www.ellephanttoenails.com , his collecting obsession as you can see there And he the founder and editor, contributor of almost all content and at large of Cutlery News Journal www.cutlerynewsjournal.com – Enjoy, I have been a member since September ’09 and found it educational and fun. I have seen custom knife maker’s bloom and seen posting from knife legends like A.G. Russell. I see collector that are new here with 50 years collecting under their belt and those like me seriously collecting for three or four years. So there is something for everyone. The custom knife maker, the folder collector the hunter collector and those like me who have a passion for them all and have not discovered my niche. Most of all – ask and dig in….. There is a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips here.
    Happy New Year and May God Bless!
    Frank

    Martin .. I caught your comment .. " I plan to modify one for me. I'll remove the scissors layer and replace the canopener with a pruning blade and the corkscrew with a philips."

    Cool .. would love to see how you do this !!! I like my SAK's too .. but, often one or two blades that just don't see much use .. would love to replace w/ those of my own desire !!

    .. some of us started a grp around MODS .. you might like it ..

    cheers, my friend
