Know I know that seems like a unexpected request here but hear me out.

10 years ago I felt like an anomaly, a woman that loves knives. 5 years ago I started seeing more and more women at shows, looking at knives for themselves. That was cool. Within the past 5 years I have met many more women willing to admit they admire knives, we just don‘t seem to band together the way men that appreciate knives do. There are three blogs I watch daily and 2 more I check frequently. IKC is the only one that offers a space for women in the knife community to share our views with each other. I have begun a new group called Bladesmith Babes.  Now even if you are a women that appreciates your kitchen knives more than a pocket knife. That’s OK. I am very fond of mine also. I know women that hunt and are particular about the type of knife they carry even though they don’t carry one in their everyday lives. I have recently been reading articles by women wood carvers. Now that would be a joy, a job that works with these magnificent tools.

So what I am asking is…While we are on a drive to raise our membership to 3000 by the 4^th of July, do YOU know a women that needs a knife place to call home?

If so, send them to IKC…Let them know Bladesmith Babes are looking for members and friends.
