A New Year is about to start and all of us hope your New Year is happy and healthy. 2012 promises to be an exciting year for knife collecting. new shows, new blades, new colors, new patterns and yes perhaps some new pricing!

Changes of all kinds may occur in 2012, including shifts in priorities, in planning, with associations, clubs and our very knife rights may be challenged or face serious erosion.  Think for a minute about the strategic planning made by every knife company, dealer and/or knifemaker right now for a brand new year and all the changes they face like materials, and labor and shipping.

It sure is exciting, and we are a big part of it. Your contributions and knowledge, your ability to inform and to educate help make iKnife Collector different. Our focus really is education. Our blogs, our Forum postings and all those beautiful pictures provide a window into the fast changing landscape of knives.

Our pages contain virtually every brand, every style, every type of knife. Older knives, brand new, they are all here.

So fellow knife collectors, what are your plans for your 2012 in knife collecting?
