Lots of ideas and opinions in this arena, the OTF auto knife nich of the market. I really like the ultratech the feel in your hand and pocket, it carries well. The construction is solid, the action is fast and locks up hard. These are hard use knives designed for battle and self defense.

The ultratech is just one model offered by Microtech knives which are made in the USA , they pride theirselves in the use of the best materials possible. Located in Bradford PA. They are building a new… Continue

I had a the nicest pleasure that a knife dealer/collector could have...

aggreed to meet me at the store. We are normally closed on Saturdays

but I opened for this young man. He met me holding a Eickhorn soligen made tactical folder, with a carbide glass breaker, seat belt cutter…

It was great to meet the other dealers that are iKC supporters, Frank Powers Franks Classic Knives, Ken Mundhenk Blue Creek Cutlery, deal on the phone with TSA knives Greg Holmes... If there were others there i didnt get to meet them.

where do you go to ID a knife ? what is you personal choice of reference? 

This may help new and old collectors alike.

Lets see the pictures and tell us what kind of knives you have found at Yard sales, Estate sales, Rummage sales

I am and have been involved with a lot of knife clubs, not one of them has brought the pleasure and fun that iKC has

the clubs always end up the  same, fewer people show, except to get the club knife. Lots of disagreements

So, i try to expose all my…

I would guess any collector that aquires a collection over time has surley been plauged by the Conterfeiter

You only have $20.00 to spend on a knife to feed your never ending collecting craving, 

My question is What knife will you buy? and Why? 

My choice is a Rough Rider 3 Blade Sowbelly I like the Candy stripe white/red bone handles, and its a Sowbelly which is what I collect primarily.

Often we spend our hard earned money on

Knives that are made in other country's

Even though these knives may equal the value you

Expect , what is the greater good it delivers?

I struggle with American vs china made all the time.

Many buyers want a china price , many buyers are

Happy to pay more for USA made. My uncle Richard

Family or friends .

Many members here today defended our… Continue
