2014 iKC knife...TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE
The time has come to start the discussion on the 2014 iKC knife.
I would again like to shoot for August/Sept delivery date. Something to remember while we talk about this is that a short run of only 50 or so knives means we need to tie in with a maker that is already running a knife and tweak that one to make it our own. The reason for this is most SFO's require a minimum order of 250 or more. Also I would like to keep it less than $125.00 delivered to you. I have some eyes checking out whats available at a factory or two but always love to hear your ideas. Remember, this is YOUR knife
Here is a pic of the official annual knives we have done so far

Robert Burris said:I wonder which pattern and brand has the most votes right now? I am sure we will hear a lot more opinions, though.
Hi Robert,
Style wise, Stockman and Barlow seem to be hot. A gentleman's single blade from a top maker would be special In my humble opinion, but the trend seems to be toward last years maker (Queen) and toward a bone handle. People want Mastodon bark handles that is clear, but scary for some.
The outdoor guys like a fixed blade, but living in Chicago, I want a cool collector's item for daily carry something that will get a patina as it is handled, like sculpture...
Ka-Bar Coppersmith Barlow came up recently and looks like an antique when it is new (that is cool!)
it is an exciting conversation for sure!
Best,
Luke

how about a small fix blade. This Riley is a local Montana knife maker. I can get contact info if anyone is interested.

Might be time for a reminder that the target price for the 2014 iKC knife is around $125.

We can get a mighty fine knife for $125.

Yep I agree with Howard and Robert about the price point. We can get something nice that should be affordable to most not just a few.

It ain't Howard. I'm just the messenger (remindererererer). The target was set by Jan on the introduction of the topic, and at the top of every page, like this one.

125 is the max I would like to see also LOL. Dont forget forget, it has to fit in my own knife budget also LOL
Historically for the club knives if I can get them in the 125.00 or less price point I can get them sold and no one feels too much of a crunch

Yes I understand that it wasn't you that set the price point but were just reminding us the price as was set long ago.
I like that price and we should be able to get something nice for that. I also like lots of the ideas being presented, just not that practical for our price.
I also still like the idea of Mr. Daniels having free reign over it and see what he can do since his saving us last time. I believe we would get something SPECIAL just because he's that kind of person.
