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

    I won !  What are you talking about.   I never win anything.  I just bought a GEC #43 Frontier bone and a #43 orange camel bone knife.  I just ordered a Buck 110 carbon steel drop point oak wood lock-back folder on EBAY.  You are right , I am a winner.   Kenny the one arm blade nut   Baw-ha !  Ha !  Ha !  Ha !  Ha !  Ha !

    I was given these knives, I think they were made by Russel McNabb.  I'm wondering how old they are and if they hold any value.  Would you be able to tell me?  I was

    Thank you Jan, Manx - for birthday greetings.

    I've been somewhat negligent and AWOL recently. Too much else happening with work and some other issues. Nothing bad, just busy.

    Thanks for the add! Been collecting knives (or as my other half puts it, "sharp, pointy things") for a long time. No specialization, just whatever strikes my fancy. I have an L77 that belonged to my late granduncle, a WWII Army Air Corps veteran, and a number of switchblades (been collecting more of those since they were legalized in Michigan 2 years ago). Thinking of building a Mikov 241 "predator" switchblade from a kit in the near future, too.

    Thanks, Miss Jan!

    I may be 73 but I don't feel a day over 95. 

    I'm beginning to think that these "Golden Years" are overrated? 

    Thanks for the cool birthday card!

    Jan, I'd PM you ..but.. I'm unable.

    .

    I went to PM you through iKC's Fb presence & discovered I've had to re-apply for Fb iKC. I've also noticed I am no longer able to PM through the iKC site. A member was able to PM me through our site ..but.. I could not respond. Then, I tried to PM you through our site to no avail. 

    ??????????????????????????????

    Note: I've recently changed my browser & search engine .. for increased security reasons. I now use Opera as a Browser & DuckDuckGo as my search engine. However, I made that change 6+ months ago & was recently able to PM members through this site w/o any issues. I noticed the PM problems yesterday.

    .

    ??????????????????? ... Any suggestions ... ????????????????????
    .

    Thanks,

    Dale

    Did you see the pics of the case knife I posted...I need help with little more history about it

    Oct 28, 2019

  • Shawn vick

    I know it's a case centennial but the case emblem on the handle is gone and the tip is broke on one of the blades. It's a one dot red bone copperhead case xx centennial r6249. That's what it says on the blade
