The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
This years GAW knife is an oldie but not an easily found knife. A Parker Seki Japan Christmas knife, this is only the 2nd time I have seen one. It features the manger scene, Luke 2:11 and a seasonal message from the Parkers on the blade. A lockback with "Surgical Steel" never used and appears to have original edge. It was purchased out of a Parker Collection.
Entry is easy and I hope it brings a smile to a face or two among us. Come to this discussion and remark with ANYTHING 2020 that made you smile or grateful.

Grateful that I only had one cancer surgery in 2020. More importantly, was able to time it so that it didn't hinder me down as we ended winter and entered the spring/summer yard work season ... and before this Covid crap got out of control!!!!
ANYTHING 2020--- It has been an eventful year for all, no doubt. On our wedding anniversary (#52), I had a heart attack. The doctor told me a stent wasn't an option and open heart surgery was the only route to recovery. With a lot of doubt, I consented. Quadruple bypass followed and a stroke also occurred during surgery that was undiagnosed until days later. After a month in the hospital due to other complications, I went home and began the road to recovery.
A long story to say I am grateful to be alive to spend (hopefully) many more years with my long-suffering wife and enjoy the fascinating world God gave us. Just a little early, I want to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and pray that we all remember the true reason to celebrate.

Bruce,
WOW - Glad your doing okay but I have to say i dont think she liked the Anniversary "gift"
Seriously, since I have been on the wife side of this, I promise you she is grateful to you for fighting back and staying. God has shown us a few challenges this year but all in all I can say reading everyone's reasons to find hope this year is certainly bringing my spirits up
Well the contest has ended and I enjoyed reading the entries very much. 2020 brought some very harsh losses for us and it did for many others. I am grateful we live in a manner that allows us to socially isolate ourselves but still do pretty much as we please. I am grateful to God that we have gotten this far and my wonderful 73 year old diabetic heart patient Donnie is safe and pretty darn healthy! I am grateful for all of you...you are what keeps me focused and sane in a world I don't recognize some days. The research, the pics, the discussions and the helpfulness of all gives me something to look forward to every day. Thank you all for being a part of iKC, a community forged in steel. It is the members that make us the greatest place to hang out!

Congratulations!
Kenny,
Thank God you are all fine but not having that cutie around for a while will be hard
Congrats to Scott. Hope he enjoys the gift. Thanks to Jan for providing us a place to come and get info and look at knives, Also a place to store our pictures for future use. I do pray 2021 is better for All of us! I do at this time have doubts! I am concerned about our Nation and what lies ahead. I believe we have already seen a vision of the future in Nashville Tennessee this week. I hope I am wrong! Oh and for Jan I saw one of those Christmas 2020 you missed on ebay. I was a little leery of the final price! 2 Bidders with 0 buys butting heads bidding on it and it went for $255.00
Again congrats to SCOTT.
Mike
LOL on the 255.00. Think I will wait
