I made the new issue of Blade Mag. in the Knife I Carry section. I had just got home from work when the picture was taken. I was sure surprised when I seen that I was in this issue. Thorvan Patten JR.

All the Knives on eBay

This is for the FYI file.

The Case XX Vault program took effect January 1, 2008.

Four popular patterns and all related tool works were locked away inside the “Case XX Vault” for a period of at least three years before being reintroduced to the public.

The reasons to institute this program are…

All The Knives on eBay

I saw this the other week and in disbelief ordered it.

First off is was promoted as real Abalone Shell. OK and it is...

Then it was a Medium Trapper not a bad size knife. And of course nickel Silver Bolsters, Brass Liners but one more thing quartered in Nickel Silver Expansion Joints (as I called them).

The "Buy - Now" was $9…

In Memoriam Update: 2010 iKC Club Knives

Just got word from A. G. Russell our 2010 iKC Club Knives are expected any day. Once he receives them and inspects our knives he'll send them to me.

At that point, each of you will send me payment and I'll get them right out.

So, for any iKC members who are interested but…

In Memoriam Let's Celebrate- Cheers to you! iKC's Birthday's today!

This last year has been a blast! As each of you joined iKC we got a chance to know some things about you. Little about your personality, your EDC, the knives you like, and usually other stuff too.

We are all different- and some more so than others, but nonetheless, we all have contributed to iKC celebrating our first birthday today.

Yes, it was April 14th, 2009 when iKC was born. It was slow going there for a while, but slowly as each…

Blood Moon Knife History:

As of 3/31/10 Fehrman Knives put up an explination on their community blog site as to why the Blood Moon Knife will NOT be used in the next Stallone movie "The Expendables".

Seems this was a terrible mis-understanding that even the magazine "Tactical Knives" thought it was going to happen. I know I'm very disapointed, I was hoping to have a collectors item and even went out and bought two copies of Tactical Knives just for the cover!

Still haven't found out just who IS going to make… Continue

In Memoriam iKnife Collector is now live on the iPad

In case you have been under a rock over the last month or so, Apple's newest piece of computing technology- the iPad- hit the stores yesterday.

Yes, even though I pre-ordered one that will ship late April with 3G, I couldn't stand it and blasted top-down to the nearest Apple Store and grabbed one for the family :-) It is the regular WI-FI (non-3G) model.

So, I am happy to report iKC is now live and able to be viewed on the fabulous…

2010 New Steel

Man oh man! 2010's first quarter is pretty much "history"...and now the big boys are releasing their new knife models. There are some really cool production knives hitting the market right now! Particularly from Benchmade and Spyderco. If you've checked out my page recently, you've seen photos of the new Benchmade 941 Onslaught and Bone Collector knives. Just yesterday, I received my new Spyderco Endura 4 with the gray FRN handle scales and full flat-ground blade. Talk about smoking cool! Cool… Continue

Re-Blood Moon

July issue of Tactical Knives has a great artical on the Blood Moon Knife and about who's going to be in the Expendables movie. I talked with someone at Fehrman Knives (when I bought the Blood Moon), I think it was Eric Fehrman, and he stated the movie was put back to a later date.
I hope its going to be good because with all the headliners, (I counted seven), movies tend to be....well not up to specs so to speak. Better grab an issue!

Sticky Pine Group

Some of the great knife makers here at iKC are making knives with handles of a very rare "Sticky Pine" wood that came to my attention recently. The wood comes from a 300+ year old pine that was cut in the year 1900 then the stump languished in a seasonally wet swamp for 110 years more until it was harvested last year. It has about as much resin as any specimen ever found. If you search the forum for "sticky pine" you can see some of… Continue

How I got into knives

I bet everyone has their own stories about how they got into knives, and from what I have heard it usually starts with "I got my first knife when I was 6", etc. Surprisingly, I didn't gain interests in knives until this past fall.

I go to school in Rochester, New York and a good friend of mine always EDCed a Spyderco of some sort. Some days he would rock out the Delica Foliage Green G10 and sometimes he would carry the discontiuned Spur fully serrated. I never understand…

Blood Moon

New movie comming out in April with all star cast headed by Sylvester Stallone called The Expendables. One good thing will be (Hopefully), that we will be seeing a new knife, just like in all of Stallone's movies, and is made by Fehrman Knives. Everyone can see it at www.fehrmanknives.com. Heh might as well get a collectors item now!

Talked to A. G. Russell the other day and he said our knives should be in next month. I've emailed you who have reserved one and a few of you have yet to respond with your address, so if you let me know you wanted one and didn't get my email, please contact me at scott@iknifecollector.com

I ordered a few extra if any of the new members who joined since I took the order want one. It is a modern- day JUMBO Sunfish, as A. G. calls it.

In Memoriam NKCA Knife Show in Dalton, Ga this weekend

Due to contraints on my schedule I don't get to many knife shows during the year, but this weekend so far my schedule is working out to go.

When I first started collecting knives, I just didn't get it. No, I didn't get knife shows- not at all.

Honestly, I just thought they were for a bunch of old timers who traded knives among themselves.

But, I gave them a try- and got…

In Memoriam I'm here- just holed up in my office

If you've been a member here at iKC for very long you've probably noticed the blog post feed of Cutlery News Journal piped into our community's homepage. That's my personal collector's blog I've written for about a year and a half now. Well, got some changes coming down the pike that I'm pretty excited about, and I think you'll like them too.

If you've not seen me out roaming the streets of iKC over the last couple…

A Name By Any Other....

I recently had a conversation with a constable during the Winter Olympics, and things naturally got around to knives. After going through the aspects of form versus function, the black and white of certain grey areas, we got around to the idea of the knife as a defensive tool. This chiefly revolved around the idea of the knife being used for Self-Defence, which I contended was a misnomer, and that what people "really" meant was… Continue
