Favorite Kind of Knives
“sharp ones”
I like knives that fit their purpose—chef’s knives in the kitchen, a sturdy fixed blade outdoors, and a reliable folder for everyday carry. Every edge has its place, proving utility and beauty can share the same blade… though hunting and bushcraft knives remind me that one edge can carry many lives.
About Me
Was told I'm practical, defiant boundary‑setter who turns frustration into clarity, anchoring every move in authenticity, survival, and respect.

    Hi Louie - welcome to iKC - we're glad you're here! You know it's funny....how you describe yourself is exactly how I describe using my Muela Mirage 20. That's amazing! LoL!

    If you haven't already, feel free to knock around and explore the place. I'm pretty sure you'll find something to like, maybe a few groups to join, or some commentary to add to. There's always something going on around here.

    Oh....that's a good question. A match? I dunno - I think if a person who displys your attributes uses a knife that displays the same attributes - it may produce too much Mojo and send the earth into a black whole or something. At the very least it would reverse the polar ice caps and take us off our axis. But then again....  

    :-D

    Oh man...I am so digging the reparte back and fourth - love the humor. Thanks for playing.

    OK - to business...to post a knife for sale here on iKC, you'll need to go to the Forum tab on the main menu bar above, then select Knives for Sale or Trade. Or, you can follow the link I added. Once there, select +ADD at the top right corner to add your unique discussion and post your knife.

    Take a look at what others have posted to get a feel of what has been done previously, then set your lure!

    If/when someone responds with interst, it's best to take that discussion off the forum and engage via the private email (Inbox). To use that feature, you'll have to invite the member to be a Friend...meaning only Friends can email each other here on iKC.

    Let me know if you have any questions - I'll be happy to assist where I can.
