I bought a new knife.  I liked that it looked like a switchblade but worked like a regular folding knife.

It is a Chinese blade RiteEdge and is 6"long folded.

Nothing spectacular but is very solid and heavy in the hand.

I haven't had much time to walk thru iKC anymore so I have to get back to that, I have enjoyed it so…

A hearty 3-finger Steel Sahlute!



Today I'll be submitting a press release, indicating that the Gerber Bear Grylls Survival Series Scout knife will be auctioned off on eBay after I complete the review.  



The amount of money bid on the knife (less ebay & Paypal fees) will be donated to the Boy Scouts (…

Thank you everyone for making this Noob feel so welcome.

I am just an amatuer who loves knives.  When I was a kid I collected knives.  I loved their beauty and their usefulness.  As I got older I spent my time with other things but now I am getting back into collecting.  I am focusing on switchblades.  I really like their sleek craftsmanship and their kind of hidden deadliness.  At the same time I love old pocketknives and their utilitarian usefulness as well a the beauty of a sweet…

On iKC we have an often used Feature called Events. Our  hobby to a certain extent, in times both past and present depended on knife shows and events for companies and individuals to showcase the knives that were being produced for consumers. They served as a buying and selling event for sure. Now they also are a way for like minded iKC collectors to meet each other in person and talk about the hobby they love.

Think about it, every year certain Shows are can't miss, blockbuster type…

As we get deeper into the year I want to start having some thoughts in place for the 2012 iKC knife.  I have 2 immediate questions

1) Fixed or Folder?

2) materials?

Let me know what ya'll think.  I would like to have some ideas in place around the time of the Blade Show (you know the manufactures can't get away from us there LOL)

This knife belonged to a friend of mines dad who passed away a few years ago. He found it in his tool box and is trying to get some info on it. The numbers on it looks like GS3038. I cant find it in my books. He was also wondering if he should sent it to…

With Valentines Day on the horizon, I thought I would share a few thoughts with some of you.

I often have knife buddies that say “I wish my wife were involved with my hobby”. So how many of you have tried to involve your better half and what better day of the year to try.

A few suggestions you say?

How about this, instead of a dozen overpriced VDay roses, a rose bush and a small pruning knife. Want a little more personal, get the knife now…have your jeweler engrave I…
