J.J., Thats why I haven't changed it, because of the stories behind that old knife. I have 3 or 4 more old Imperials my grandpa passed down to me and was just thinking about having one fixed up so I could carry as a user. That way I would know I was carrying and using one of his knives. But its a hard decision to make. LOL I'm pretty sure I will leave that one like it is.

Yes, you did. I'm glad you did. If you have any questions or suggestions- I'm all eyes/ears, just trying to make iKC a knife place to call home :)

Hello!
Just joined and I'm mingling around trying to soak up the atmosphere.
I am from Croatia, and I'm new when it comes to collecting knifes. Compared to most of the guys here, I'm a "newborn" collector (I only have like 6 knifes, but I use all of them almost on a daily basis, and I just love to take care of them).
I have discovered my passion for knifes something like two years ago and this had a profound impact on my life. I started to appreciate the craftsmanship behind a good blade and I learned much since. It is a privilege for me to be a part of this great community.
The site interface looks really intuitive and user friendly and I like it very much so far!
Andrej

Hi Scott -- I just joined, something I almost never do, but this site looks like it has a lot to offer with acess to all the members and all their knowledge so I just could not help myself. I have been collecting knives since my mother told me I was not old enough to have one, must have been about 1957. I am eager to see how everything works here and what can be learned, and having somewhere to locate hard to find knives would be wonderful.

Hi, I just joined up and wanted to introduce myself. I collect vintage auto's, especially French, but have a few Americans, newer Germans and Italians. I just came back from my 2nd Atlanta Blade show and if you haven't made the trip let me tell you it was absolutely incredible and I strongly recommend it. Not just for the 1000's of knives but the people there are fantastic, and there's nothing like a few hundred collectors drinking and trading in the pit after the show.
My collection has focused quite a bit and I hope to sell or trade off my Germans (Hubies for the most part) and some Italians; to go with old French and Americans, although I'm hoping to develop an Italian Fulcrum release collection. This being my 3rd year in, I don't have a huge collection, but I sure have made some great friends along the way.
Later,
--J
