One of our favorite times of the year- Pumpkin Carving Time!

Knife users love to carve, don't we? Here's your change to show off your skill. When my kids were younger I used to carve funny/silly faces on our pumpkins. They usually weren't very good. But I know some folks take this art of pumpkin carving very seriously.



If you are carving a pumpkin this year, snap you a pic of it and load it up to share with us. Don't forget to show us the knife (or knives) you used for this delicate procedure.



Want some ideas, check out… Continue

The Rules of Knife Collecting



Sometime back over at Cutlery News Journal we concluded knife collecting qualifies as a sport. And, by definition, a sport is governed by a framework of understandings commonly called rules.



“Rules,” you say, “there aren't any rules associated with knife collecting.”



Oh, contraire, but it does. I will admit they weren’t easy to find, but find them I did, though I… Continue

HATERZ II: AN ORIGINAL YOUTUBE POEM...



Been dealing with more HATERS...I was inspired to write this poem and post it as a video.



These are my rifles

These are my guns

Both are for shooting

Which can be quite fun



If you don't like either

Why are you here!?!?

You haven't posted one video

But, are a JERK not a DEAR



If you don't like my channel, videos, or my voice

Go watch something else

You know you have that choice



I also post… Continue

New Blades, Collecting Steel and Collecting Friends

Friends-



One of the real joys that I've experienced on iKnifeCollector is the sharing of new knife acquisitions. Whether living vicariously through other people's collections...or simply sharing the fun of a new knife, I really enjoy it when one of you lets me in on your latest blade purchase. In fact, it is through that interaction that I've been introduced to some of the coolest knives in my collection. With that in mind, I try to reciprocate by sharing my "new" family members as I… Continue

A Good Idea for a Bad Blog

When I joined as one of the first handful of members I though we'd be lucky to have a group that collects little pocket knives. Sure enough, we do. But Scott King, (our founder) to his credit and I'm sure the occasional pain, has allowed us to form groups about Axes, about knife-related fiction in the Story Board, about Fixed Blades and so much more. He's a modest guy, but I'll tell you for sure he knows more about those fat little Elephant Toenail… Continue

Knives 2010, The World's Greatest Knife Book- A must have for all knife enthusiasts

While its billing as The World's Greatest Knife Book may be a little over the top, Knives 2010 is a must have for all knife lovers.



It's Krause Publications' 30th Anniversary Edition and it is chocked full of over 1000 high quality knife photos of all makes and models. (Granted 1000 pictures pales in comparison to iKC's over 5000 pictures, it is still a wonderful view of custom made knives by today's top makers.)



If you like to look at cool knives-… Continue

A Case of Case Trivia

You probably know that my favorite knife pattern probably has more documented names (nicknames) than any other pattern I am able to identify. The list includes, Old Honesty, Butterbean, Pumpkinseed, Red Eye, Elephant's Toe, English Rope Knife, Toe, Sunfish, Camp Knife, Pocket Axe, Vest Pocket Axe (my favorite), Jumbo, The Bulldog and probably others.



HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED?



I know it has been a topic of conversation as to when Case first… Continue

Helping spread the word- iKC Handout

Jeff Saylor's self-initiative of passing our iKC invitation flyers at a recent show provides us all an excellent example of how real our virtual community actually is!

Finally It Tasted My Blood

An axiom in the knife world you've probably heard is- "A knife only becomes yours when it decides to taste your blood."



Sure we all own knives we think are ours but from the knife's point of view- it only agrees to be yours at the time it decides to taste your blood.



Well I am proud to say my new EDC agreed to be mine yesterday.





The story is kinda funny and illustrates how careless we knife… Continue

Redemption from a so-called Shank- Life: A Melancholy Essay

“It cuts like a knife but it feels so right.”

-Bryan Adams




After graduating from college I spent three months thinking where field should I enter. A highly competitive industry of TV commercial production house which I think I will enjoy a lot or other field that there’s money and at the same time you could easily get into; like… Continue

How much is 'TOO" much?

Hey everyone, hope all is well. My birthday is just around the corner and I have been itching to buy a new knife. Only this time around I am interested in buying a semi-custom folder. Right now I cannot make my mind up on which knife I would want to buy, a Strider SMF or a CRK Sebenza. Both knives have an outstanding track record an will cost me a lot of money (Almost $500, depending on which one I decide to get). I asked my best friend Eric who is the co-owner of my local knife shop,… Continue
