Have a great birthday, John! Thanks for being here with us.

:)

oh oh .....  i missed it ( sorry )

but yet....  happy birthday   john !  

now just wait for santa !!

Ah, it was a good birthday, indeed.  This year I had to buy the birthday knife myself, but, y'know, I'm not complaining.  Glad we have these special occasions to use as excuses to buy another knife!  Take care, friend.

Thanks John.

Thanks for the welcome John.

Thanks for the birthday wish. Had a good one, fried some fresh trout for dinner that a friend provided. Very good fare. OH, and also received a new buck wavy flag gentleman's knife from my daughter. I'll post a pic when I can get the time.

Thanks for the welcome! By signing up, I'm hoping to get some feedback to help identify a knife I found on an archaeological excavation in Alaska.  I believe the site to be the camp of shipwreck survivors in the early 19th century.  I'm still trying to work my way through the iKC website -- but is there a way to post a picture for comments?

You guys seem like a friendly bunch, and makes me want to take up knife collecting.  I inherited my dad's collection and need to dig it out of storage!

Thanks John. From what I can tell, it is a quill or pen knife.  It appears to have had a tortoise (or possibly horn) handle, but it's pretty far gone.  It was heavily encrusted in sands welded together by iron oxide, so it was a bit of a surprise when a knife appeared.  Does the style provide any clues as to age or origin?  Thanks.  Dave

Thanks John!!!

goodmorning john...

a while ago we were talking about vipers...

i got my viper a few weeks ago (a ten )..  and have been using it a lot ( also hard labour) and i can say  WHAT A GREAT KNIFE !!

the steel and the g-10 and the way it is made... the shape and the fit.. the sharpening and the construction  SUPER !

... and that adjustable lockbar system is  awsome too !!

how about that odino ?

Thanks for the welcome. Sorry I did not get back sooner. I had a knee problem.

I guess that is what happens when we get older, things hurt.

Looking forward 

Thanks John!

John thank you for the chance to share my thoughts about iKC with not only you but the many others who have just about filled my inbox. I haven't felt this welcomed since I paid off my late note at the bank.

I'm not sure how your post system works but I want to make sure that all of you know how grateful I am and how much I appreciate your kindness and the opportunity to show you that I am obsessed with my new life that knife collecting has presented to me.So if y"all will give me thirty minutes to put the shelves in my wife's new Curio Cabinet that bought her a few months ago and is still sitting in the middle of the living room where it sat when it was delivered, I will put one shelve in it so I can display all the important things in my life. But then she'll want me to put all of them in. So please bear with me and I will put together a synopsis of my knife collecting good fortune. Stand by ladies and Gentlemen I think you'll see what it means to be a a blessed man.

Thank you Melton 714 (Melton Thornton)   Photos to follow.

Hey, John

Looks like we both made the "Featured Members" list.

!! . Congrats . !!

One thing I much appreciate about iKC is the international aspect.

I now have very genuine friendships with people in countries I've never even (unfortunately) visited.

Thank you .. for being part of that !!

Thanks John

Thanks, John .. I'm looking @ it right now.

Nice site, John. I've some old "choppers" that are in need of new scales .. this site is just what I needed .. might have to do something along those lines :).

THANKS JOHN, GLAD TO BE HERE & LOOKING FORWARD TO THE EXPERIENCE. I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED KNIVES & ALWAYS WILL.......CAN'T GET ENUFF OF 'EM !! GOD BLESS YOU & YOURS JOHN ALWAYS.

Thank you John:)

Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks for thinking of me, John!

I got a chuckle out of that, too! Funny thing is...jumping out of an airplane with a parachute is actually safer than driving on a Los Angeles Freeway where I happen to live.

People pay good money to jump out of airplanes. The Army paid me $55 a month to do it! That was a win - win for me!

Cheers, my friend!

AIRBORNE!
