Alen, We love having southerners from the back yard here.

Welcome to iCK. I trust you’ll find this a great resorse whether you’re a 50 year collector or a 3 year collector. Scott has set the benchmark for internet communications regarding the interest of knife collectors. On this forum you’ll see posting from industry names like A. G. Russell, Case collector author Steve Pfeiffer and more. Whether you’re a custom knife make, folder collector, hunter pattern enthusiast, or Vintage knife only collector there’s a home for you here. From Photography to the up-and-coming names in production knives and custom knives there’s a forum to seek out answers, post opinions and share and trade ideas and even a knife or two. So welcome again. Dig in, join the group that interest you the most and have fun. As one member sighted to me when I posted s blog about diminishing retail values, he reminded me that it was “whatever is fun” and that’s what really matters.
Have a very Safe and Happy New Years Remember, New Years Eve is the night all the armatures are out drinking on the road so stay in and stay safe!

Hey Alan
Thanks for joining our knife community. I think you'll like it here. As you are looking around if you have any questions, please let me know. Since you have collected for close to as long as I've been alive, I'm sure you have some killer customs. We'd love to see them.
Welcome!
Scott

welcome and merry christmas
