I've really missed going to knife shows and visiting some of our sponsors and letting them know that we appreciate them for all that they do.

LOL! Lars you are so right  DLKG would have put a knife in it!  I sometimes wonder if the newest members know how the easiest way to get to our sponsors. I had seen the notice on Lee also, I hope all is well with him. I will call and check on that staus this week

I tend to click on these sponsors ads fairly often as well.  In fact I recently ordered a second knife from TSA and am waiting on its arrival.

TSA and Knife Magazine are the two sites I tend to gravitate toward. 

TSA has a solid site that I personally enjoy the color scheme and layout of.  Prices seem reasonable, a few of the older (out of stock already) items could have a more accurate description, but the items are already sold, so no point of correcting anything there.  Any questions I have about an item are always answered quicker than I expect, and Erin seems to be genuinely interested and attentive to questions and comments.

Knife Magazine has some neat articles (a little bit of a high view of the topic), but other parts of the website do not seem to load properly or something.  The PDFs, screenshots of the articles seem to have numerous letters missing here and there throughout the page.  Is this intentional, as an attempt to get people to invest in a subscription?  If I had a subscription and the quality was the same as what I am seeing, I would not be very happy about it to be honest.  All that said, I still find myself going back to see what else I can find.

Well that's certainly a great way to get iKC members to ramp up the clicks on your sponsors....well done! Of course if DLKG was spearheading this, he'd post a photo of some knife he bought and challenge us all to find and name it! :-D

So I click on some of these often as it is, but I knoticed that Lee's Cutlery is closed for the time being...I don't recall seeing that before. I think I have scrolled through and read just about all the Colonial web site I can - great history! I wish more makers would load up thier history as well.

I think my favorite is Knife Mag though....I love thumbing through all the books they have...I'll $30 myself to death if I don't pay attention!

I also enjoy browsing through Voyles Knife site - so many knives....so little time.

How'd I do?
