Whoa! We have a new celebrity among us...Yowza! Hello Ben - welcome to iKC - we're glad you're here. Well I am anyway. Don't worry - I won't be so obvious as to ask for your autograph or anything....but if you would just sign your name below my comments, that would be awesome! :-D

I have had your site bookmarked in my Knife BOK for some time now (that's Book of Knowledge) - referring to it when I need to brush up on the latest trends and what-not. Actually, it was Andrew's article on Damascus steel that introduced me to NBK - he had me at "Damascus Steel is tie for knives..." Been hooked on you guys ever since.

I'm sorry - where are my manners? Please, feel free to knock around, pour yourself a whiskey and enjoy exploring iKC. It's a fun community to be a part of, and while many threads may not have been touched for some time - all it takes is a new comment to revive it. 

Hope to see you on the boards!

Wow! I made the short list...that's awesome! OK - this counts as an autograph.

I'm glad you're taking the time to explore and get involved...even if only leaving comments. It may be because "I'm having a whiskey anyway"....but I still think it's cool. 

I am actually hoping (and looking forward) to seeing some iKC exclusive reviews or some blogs in the same fashion as your articles on NBK. Two of my favorites is How to Lose Your Knife in a Bar, and Your Using Your Knife Wrong (titles are paraphrased I think). Classic stuff right there. 

Thank you for the invite - let me know if you have any questions or need anything -
