I sure enjoyed Gus Marsh's presentation Wednesday night on Schrade. It gave me a renewed appreciation for a great cutlery. So I got to looking over my Schrade collection and wanted to re-share with you in this blog. Feel free to share yours here also. Maybe your special ones or all of them.

Central KY Knife Show - 5-9-14

Posted on May 9, 2014 at 16:26 6 Comments 3 Likes

Was a great knife show today as usual. Lots of knives, vendors, and people. Saw and talked with 3 of our members: Jim Thompson, Ken M., and Roger Cunningham. Gina Smith was there to but I couldn't find her. Did not see Adam Archer, he may come tomorrow. Also did not see Charles Reed.

I went down every isle and looked at lots of knives and even bought some.

Knife Sheaths

Posted on April 30, 2014 at 13:29 31 Comments 3 Likes

There are many different kinds of sheaths. I like the ones that snap up on the knife handle. The ones that snap lower around the thumb piece, to me, does not work well. Its easy to get the knife out, but not so easy to get the knife back in.

Below is a picture of 10 different kinds of knife sheaths.

Do you have any different kinds or pictures of sheaths.

If the stamping of your knife features a rooster .. you could compare it with the pic I posted on your Bertrand Cutlery discussion page. It may provide narrowing down a date of manufacture.
Glad to help,

However, depending on the device you use ... text reading may also be a part of your operating system. I've only used Apple products since the 80s. Text to speech is built into the system, so personally, have no need to install an extension/plug-in in a browser.

I was wondering recently and hoping we would hear from you soon.I have had many friends with that and it is very frustrating, I am so so sorry. Your typing was perfect ! It sure sounds like you have added some wonderful pieces and I know they have made their way to a good home

Thanks for the welcome... I'm glad I found this site and am feeling a bit overwhelmed....

So, I'll lurk for a while and get oriented.

Thanks again for the warm welcome.

The show was really a lot of fun and from the pictures and comments on here this evening, it looks like there were several iKnife people there. I know we handed out several of Jan's cards for iKnife. Hopefully some new people will join.
