The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
For the new members, the members that have been with us awhile and those asking the question online:
So today someone said to me….what the heck is iKnifeCollector?
I really had to stop and think how to explain us. We are not a blog, too interactive. We are not a forum, but we have one. We are only a gathering place in our live chat. So back to my stand by, we are a knife community.
Next question, a what???
I took a long breathe in and said…
We are a community. A place where knife collectors come to talk about their hobby and sometimes we are where someone realizes they ARE a knife collector. We don’t quibble about what knives you choose to collect, that is up to you. We don’t judge your collector or you by the amount of money you spent on it, which just isn’t important. We love to see your newest, your oldest, and your favorite, to hear about your dream knife. We enjoy the history of the industry and are fortunate enough to have folks that can help us learn more and more.
Next Question? So all you talk about is knives?
That made me smile. Heck no, we are driven knife collectors and talk about that more than anything. But again, we are a community. We know each other, care about the families in the community…heck we even know each other’s dogs and pets.
Sooo, you have a big site and you all know each other??
Well, our community is not as large as some of the knife forums but every new member is greeted by the community. We don’t have a committee for that, our folks just do it. We have famous makers, large manufactures and knife makers from around the world. They are just part of the community like everyone else.
Before any other questions could be asked I just added…Come join us, you will find that we are not just a site. We are a community like no other
For those of you reading this discussion, Thank you and here is my Epiphany from Blade Show 2016.
