iKnife Collector

The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel

General INFO section...Knife world news and special links for input (POST THEM HERE) for all to enjoy!

I think over the years there have been so many knife sites and info sites, that I have read from page to page...that never get passed on to others and you end up having to surf to find them later..So I thought a special area earmarked just for those would be great...Since I am an avid Case collector and collector of the coke bottle shaped knives of all brands, there will be those links that interest me.

I hope to see the sharing of other members favorite info links so we can all have fast clicks to the world Library of Knives.

I found this one today similiar to others I have read but a simplified quick overview of the Case family history

That is an awesome piece of history. I have always wanted to take a metal detector and visit a few of these pieces of knife history.

Probably, that would be my luck. The fun would be in the exploration.

Last year David Anthony was privileged to have a tour of the old Northfield factory. There were some some special “finds” . He had a great day and had some unfolded knife boxes and even some pristine onion skin for wrapping those originals.

I had my own question today about how many knife companies were owned by SMKW. This is an amazing reference of who owns who in the cutlery world!!
