The Hammer In at TrackRock Campgrounds was held this past weekend. We have been participating in this for years, even before we moved to this area. We participate for a number of reasons, the fun being one of them.This Hammer In is always free to attend. We defray the cost of it with the Iron In the Hat drawing, a knife donated by one of the makers or guild members and donations. What is left after funding, the next show is donated to a Childrens Hospital somewhere, this time it was the…See More
Jan Carter replied to Jan Carter's discussion Production numbers, do they matter? in the group Great Eastern Cutlery hosted by Ken Mundhenk"Ken,
I had spoken with several dealers that told me 2019 would be bringing these type of numbers. Unless a knife is allocated to specific dealers or an SFO, we may indeed be seeing a run of 801"

- About Me
- My Husband Donnie and I live in Hiawassee GA. I was Blessed to have found iKC and became the owner in October of 2012. I believe all knife collectors are created equal, no matter what type they collect. iKC brings a different direction to knife collecting in my opinion, you may not personally like something or have an issue with a particular company. But respect is a substantial aspect of what we are about. I have a strong faith and believe everyone is entitled to theirs.
- Interests
- History, fishing, Diving, knife collecting and about a billion other things LOL. My main interest these days is iKC and bringing the future generations into knife collecting.
- Other Hobbies
- there are other hobbies? OK, I found one! Watching my husband learn to build knives

Continue Tanto sharing for Bryan W
Posted on June 29, 2016 at 19:56 0 Comments 1 Like
This is a Tanto that was given to me by the widow of my best friend that died a few years ago. He loved the Japanese swords, and unfortunately I know little of its history. I did have an expert look at it, who determined it was made from a cut down (or broken) WWII Japanese sword. The polishing is not correct, the shape of the blade tip is a bit off, but the parts are all authentic and someone put a lot of time into this piece. The collar was noted as being very…

I don't often narrow my comments to USA but this holiday is one that is very close to my heart
I am a brat! I was raised being moved from country to country, state to state and base to base. It was honestly a privilege. I learned that no matter where you are in the world at 4PM every day, you stopped, placed your hand over your heart, listened to the National Anthem followed by Taps. You learned early that God and Country were to be respected and those lost remembered.

I've been somewhat negligent and AWOL recently. Too much else happening with work and some other issues. Nothing bad, just busy.

I was given these knives, I think they were made by Russel McNabb. I'm wondering how old they are and if they hold any value. Would you be able to tell me? I was
