A G Russell called and our 2010 Sunfish Club Knife is in!!

I'm excited to report our first-ever iKC club knife is in. A. G. called me today as they finished their inspection of each knife in our order.

I'll be emailing all you members who have reserved one so far. I want to get them in and double check the shipping amount and then will let you know.

A. G. said the exotic Monkey Thorn scales (handles) look fabulous. I asked him to snap me a pic so I could show you the actual knife and black belt holster and he obliged.

This 2010 iKC Club Knife is a modern-day Jumbo Swellcenter Sunfish style knife. The original Jumbo Swellcenter pattern was invented by C. Platts & Sons Cutlery Company, Eldred, Pa., around 1900 and the knife was only in production for a half dozen or so years. They are highly sought-after by collectors and are a bit expensive.

Now over 100 years later, Mr. A. G. Russell is the only firm to reintroduce this popular pattern and had one made as an iKC exclusive!

The handle is 4 5/8" long. A hair over 1 1/2" wide, the blade is AUS10 and is 3 1/3" long and not quite 1/4" thick. It has a round silver medallion shield with iKC 2010.

The knife and holster is $95 plus shipping. I ordered a few extras so if you want one please email me directly at scott@iknifecollector.com. I need your regular email and street address/city/state/zip.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on May 28, 2010 at 11:13: Am I the first, (after Scott and A.G. to get my hands on the 2010 iKC Knife?

Mine got here less than an hour ago, and it sure is a thing of beauty. Pics definitely do not do it justice.

This is one solid knife. Big, and fits my hand perfectly. Solid lock-up, and the monkey wood scales are just great looking, especially when set off by the "iKC 2010" shield. On a coolness factor this one is off the scale. The Dozier sheath really sets this knife off.

My hats off to Scott and A.G. for their collaboration on it.

Can't wait to see what everyone else has to say about theirs, when they start arriving.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on May 28, 2010 at 1:11: I saw on A.G.'s site that the sheath was designed by Bob Dozier.
I think that the "stud" fastner adds real class to it as opposed to "snap" fastners.

Comment by Mark Yang on May 24, 2010 at 2:52: Thank goodness! I thought there was no chance after the weekend ended (in Australia)

In Memoriam Comment by Scott King on May 23, 2010 at 21:11: I have all the emails from all of you and right now trying to confirm those who put their order in a few months ago. That way I know exactly how many are remaining. If you haven't heard from me yet, please be patient.

Comment by Andy Voelkle "AxeMan" on May 22, 2010 at 3:01: Yo, bubba!
I want one.
Fine job, A.G. — very fine!

In Memoriam Comment by Scott King on May 21, 2010 at 8:26: They came in and are fantastic! I'll contact all you who ordered one this week-end by email with the final arrangements. The knife is as hefty as the original swellcenters made by C. Platts over 100 years ago too!
