Knife Dork!

Have you ever been asked about one of the knives you were carrying or one of the knives in your collection? When the person asked you were you excited to answer their question but ended up explaining a lot more than they were actually asking?

Well I am very guilty of this. I love when people ask me about my knives because it gives me a chance to talk to someone about them. It is rare to find someone who shares the same passion for knives that you do and can actually talk to them in… Continue

So..... I guess I'll start with a review. :D

So finally a friend and I have acquired a good assortment of medium sized fix blades to test.

The test is broken down in to 2 categories: Use and Comfort.

Then those two categories are broken down into several sub categories: fuzz/curl making, batonning, chopping, and drilling.

Ratings will be given to comfort during all these task. This is a very limited view as we are only gauging initial comfort during use. We are not measuring how comfortable the knife is… Continue

In Memoriam iKC Member Appreciation

I must take a second to say, "Thank You" for becoming a part of the iKnifeCollector Community.

Because of that I didn't quite know how it was going to go over.

Your feedback is very encouraging. Two messages… Continue

In Memoriam Update on the development of our Community

As with any new community, we have folks moving in and getting settled, while others are finishing the build-out. Others are painting walls and hanging pictures. Don't know if you have noticed, but everyday, our community changes- that's the way it's supposed to be too.

Our emphasis is on "quality, not quantity" meaning we want an active community, not just folks hanging their shingle and then not getting to know their neighbors. And yet,… Continue

In Memoriam Feel Free to explore, poke around and experiment with iKC

We're knife collectors, not geeks, so look around, click on things and check them out. Open your Settings on your My Page. Try to up load a picture and a video. Look at the Applications you can add on your My Page too. You will find dozens of mini-programs to add to it.

Don't worry about breaking something, or crashing the site. It won't happen.

We'll only learn by playing around. Try to change the background of your My Page to a picture.

Have fun. I'm still… Continue
