- 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

This is a Tanto that was given to me by the widow of my best friend that died a few years ago. He loved the Japanese swords, and unfortunately I know little of its history. I did have an expert look at it, who determined it was made from a cut down (or broken) WWII Japanese sword. The polishing is not correct, the shape of the blade tip is a bit off, but the parts are all authentic and someone put a lot of time into this piece. The collar was noted as being very…

I don't often narrow my comments to USA but this holiday is one that is very close to my heart
I am a brat! I was raised being moved from country to country, state to state and base to base. It was honestly a privilege. I learned that no matter where you are in the world at 4PM every day, you stopped, placed your hand over your heart, listened to the National Anthem followed by Taps. You learned early that God and Country were to be respected and those lost remembered.

Hi Jan, I've been stopping by every now and then and looking things over. I like what I see. 76th Bday has come and went by, just another day to me. I some what surprised that I'm still in this world. When I was young there were many who said I'd never make it past 35yrs LOL Still here and most of them are gone already.
I do have a question for you. although my knife collection smaller than it was. I have a couple of knives that I'd like to give to IKC at the approate time. would that be ok?. let me know what ya think about that...... Wally G.
