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

    well said jan!  I am glad I made it back.

  • Jim Thompson

    Good Morning Jan....Thanks for the comment on the Customized Case muskrat and Tested Case. I was able to get the muskrat via eBay for $63.62 which included shipping. The dealer does this as a hobby & had several other patterns  listed. At the price I paid I am not sure how he can afford to do this. The Tested  knife, while not mint, is a good addition to the 47 patterns I have.

    Happy Birthday To You !!!  May this day be filled with Happiness ! Best Wishes !

    Happy Birthday, Jan! For everything you do, have done and will do for your family here at iKC, know it never goes unappreciated. You are the glue that holds us together, and your tireless efforts constantly show us what can be done when love and compassion combine with devotion and pride. What you have helped to create here is truly exceptional. You and Donnie both should be incredibly proud of what has evolved from the site's beginnings, and I know we all are excited to see how things will keep progressing in the future. You have built something here that many of us will never ever forget, and in a day of transience and instant gratification, that is not a small accomplishment. You have helped people share their pride and joy, and you have also made a safe place where others can come and find solace to deal with sorrow and grief. Truly, we are a family here at iKC, and I think you should stop and feel immense pride in that. Not many places can honestly make that claim...none that come to my mind, anyway. Friends have come and gone, and yet here we still are. Stronger than ever.

    So, dear lady...and I am honoured to say Friend as well...take a bow, bask in the glow of what you have managed to create through both adversity and joy. Know you have an entire family behind you, and we all are sincerely honoured you have made this site what it is and that we could be a part of something incredible.

    Thank you so very much!

    Hi Jan,

    Thank you very much for researching C=on Chuck's last known contact info and also possible leads for oyster knife blanks...very kind of you.  I have just joined the group and also appreciate all the welcome comments.  You seem to  have a very friendly , supportive and mutually helping community.  I am not great at replying immediately to posts or questions etc. I do so time permitting but do appreciate your interest and support very much. Cheers!

    Thanks for your active participation Jan. I have some difficulty navigating iKC so excuse me if I possibly "butt in" where I don't belong. Heck, I have trouble navigating my Facebook - too many options.

    I have never exhibited at a large show like the Blade Show. Any suggestions, comments or cautions? 

    Regards

    Sergi H.
