So here are the guidelines

Post a picture of your IKC Community knife with something unique to your area and enter it here.  Lets see how creative we can be with our own state or country

I will choose 3 impartial judges.  I think we run this from November 9th to November 24th.  Lets see if we can get every knife to show back up on here.  Ready, set, SHOOT YOUR PICTURES!…

My Dad, still MY hero

Show us your heros.......................Lets celebrate their lives, togeather

We're closing in on Veteran's Day which is November 11.  In an ongoing effort to show support for our wounded vets through the Wounded Warrior Project, I've got what I think is kind of a special knife to offer this year.  It's no secret that I'm a big supporter of the Wounded Warrior Project and past auctions have always been successful in raising funds to help out our returning wounded.  Even though our combat role…

Hurricane Sandy Auction Starts Today ~ October 30, 2012!

Hi folks,

I just wanted to talk with you for a moment and share some thoughts and gather more thoughts.

Some things I think you should know that we have been doing for our community.

This month we have run our first ad in a knife magazine letting more collectors know about us. I say our first because things are in the works for two more.

We have partnered with the National Knife Museum and if you go to their page, we are listed under groups

We have partnered…

It has been a phenomenal weekend.  The show brought together some knowledgeable, fun people and some great knife deals.  I will be adding a great deal to this blog as I review the weekend but I wanted to start with a Thank you.

To SMKW for putting this together, giving the knife folks a chance to meet the companies face to face.  Thank you to the SMKW staff.  These are probably the hardest working folks in the place and yet it is all done with a smile.  If their goal is to exceed…

Two more down to earth, friendly and customer focused folks you couldn't possibly hope to meet.  A busy table indeed.  With everything going on this weekend Michel took the time to speak with me whenever he thought he had  moment..  Below is some recent work, the collection is now owned by SMKW.

New materials for the Painted Pony knives that will be on…

Good afternoon all!!

iKC has made some changes to our format. There are some great things being offered to us by our network support NING. In order for us to take advantage of those offers we needed to move to the new format.

I am so sorry that all the work you did in personalizing your page has gone. But think of the fun you will have customizing it now :) Seriously, I appreciate your bearing with us as we bring upgraded options to iKC.

For those that I have not…

Well ya'll made it tougher than I anticipated so we needed a third prize.  Thank you all for helping us have some fun.  Thanks you to my fellow judges...you are awesome.

Third Place goes to "A young buy and his catch"   Prize: Frost Workhorse II

Second place goes to "Herb's ready to cook"  Prize: 25.00 Gift Certificate to TSA…

In my excitement to have the FB page up, running and an option for us I did not think to let you all know it is not a replacement for our beloved site, it is an enhancement for us.  It will give us an option for spending time together and meeting new friends.  I apologize for any confusion.  Think of the places we can go and the people we can meet!!!  So don't be shy...see us in both places

Had a wonderful time, put up some pics last night.  We had a few folks come by to talk with us yesterday but not too many.  It was a nice time, met some great folks.  I will write more today, have a laundry list of people to see and knives to open and close.

Bid on the 2012 Memorial Day Wounded Warrior Project Auction

The Wounded Warrior project is a wonderful way to say thank you to not only our Warriors but their families.  In the past I have even donated air miles, they use these to fly loved ones in to see and help heal our soldiers.  This is something that my friend Greg does many times a year, always with a goal of 1000.00 a year in donations. It is a great way to get a much sought…
