Buy LOCAL

There was a lot of excitement coming out of the knife show, in Dalton, Georgia, this past weekend.

My daughter and I were both excited to see Jan and Donnie along with fellow collectors David Selph and Randall Vaughn.

***********************************************************

BUT, that's not all that impressed me...

The first thing we heard, when we arrived, was a door prize of an iKC calendar being awarded.

As I moved around the show, I saw other evidence of an iKC presence there, in the way of our sponsors and advertisers.

These folks were exhibitors as well as members of our community. In addition to their displays, they proudly displayed iKC cards and invitations.

I was real proud to see the great number that were there and wanted to take a minute to recognize those that we talked to.

Alphabetically, it went something like this;

Roger Cunningham was there with Ken Mundhenk.

Ms. Courtny and Ken Daniels, representing Queen and The Daniels Family lines.

Comment by Mark Zalesky on March 12, 2014 at 9:44: No wonder you missed me -- I spent what seemed like most of the show away from my table talking with folks about the pending ban on old ivory or other subjects of varying importance. Next show, just pick up a book from my table and start waving it around like you're going to buy it -- I'll materialize out of thin air!

Nice blog JJ, thanks for spreading the good word...

Comment by Jan Carter on March 12, 2014 at 9:40: Each member and sponsor at iKC bring their own unique personality and perspective. The folks that sponsor us do so because they believe in us and the concept that there can be a "family" of collectors online. Thanks JJ, I agree

KnifeMaker Comment by Steve Koontz on March 12, 2014 at 9:34: I hate I missed you JJ, maybe next time...

In Memoriam Comment by Terry Ray on March 12, 2014 at 9:29: Thanks JJ we enjoyed meeting you and Your daughter
It was great fun thank you

Comment by J.J. Smith III on March 12, 2014 at 9:22: You know, guys, I can't express exactly how good it felt to meet these folks. Now, when I deal with these dealers, I know that I'm dealing with "real" people and not with some faceless entity.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on March 12, 2014 at 7:20: Thanks JJ. I enjoyed the pictures and info. I think only good things can happen with IKC and it's members.
