Nate, you don't have to be a serious collector to be here, & I'm glad you found us!  Many collectors probably wouldn't consider me a serious collector either, because I collect what I like & I have a variety of knives in my collection & some rather eclectic tastes -- I even like kitchen knives! 

Anyway, I should add, if you have any knife-related questions, post them here.  I've been impressed time & again at the knowledge the members have here -- especially when it came to things that I thought were really obscure!  But I digress.  Good to have you here.

Dude - you have a Muela! OK - we we can hang, no matter how many knives you own.

What I like about iKC is that no one seems to compete as to who has the best knives, the most knives, the most expensive knives, exotic, etc. It's a great place to brag, show off, share your latest acquisition, wish list, and share or grow your knowledge. I also like it because I just have fun. 

We have all kinds of collectors here...combat guys & gals, folder guys, fixed blade gurus, historical, fantasy blade, and like me....eclectic blade heads. 

I see you have already met the welcoming committee...they're great! Don't hesitate to reach out to anyone if you have a question or two....and let's see what else you have in your collection! (yea - I'm nosy).
