In Germany a knife can be one handed opening OR locking. But not both. You can own them. But without a valid reason you can't carry them.

I thought it was legal to own and carry autos in Germany since I saw them (especially OTF) for sale in all the knife and outdoor stores there?

Can't carry a switchblade over here. Same for Germany, Danmark, Sweden, UK and many others.

Ok ikcers club knife why does it have to be a knife ! why not a good swedish axe or a small machete or a bushcrafter / outdoor knife , condor tool and knife are doing some real good small fixed blades and theres mora also what abt a ikc kukri !!!! just stabbing in the dark here but may not every one wants a pocket knife this yr .STAY SHARP .

I'm with Rick. I even suggested it before, but I'll say it again: I wish it could be a fixed blade this year. I'm just not interested in another pocket knife but, again, that's just my opinion and I know I don't speak for everyone.

Like Rick said, Both Mora and Condor Tool & Knife make some amazing products that you can use for a price everyone can afford. We're talking carbon steel knives from $12-$50. Everyone can afford that. The problem is getting IKC etched on it, but I'm sure we can look into having that done and still meet or beat the agreed upon price point.

I see ya'll point Pat but I have never seen a club knife that's not a pocket knife. I think you are looking for a user knife, the IKC knife is a bit of a collector knife. Of course it can be used also but alot of the buyers are buying it for their collection. I don't have the answer for this situation but I just added my thoughts.

I start to thinking that Fixed blade club, Knife Makers, KNIFE MAKING BEGINNERS groups need own iKC anniversary knife from carbon steel with scandi or flat grind. Price range 5-50$ made by Condor (first year, next year Fosts Mora, Brusletto....). Okay.... it can be real..... We need to group all fixed blade lovers and make an try to deal with Condor company! iKC logo / shield can be inlayed into the handle scales or engraved by laser on blade or wooden scales! Sheath could be made some kind special, but original is okay!
Top three:
1.Condor Bushcraft classic 2"blade knife
2. Condor Mini Bushlore
3. Condor Fidelis
Nothing big, just some small inexpensive knives with low cost shipping rates.
This was for fixed blade lovers.

For pocket knife lovers: My vote for whittler or something jumbo from GEC!

Thats all folks! :D

Been a little while since we visited this forum but I wanted you all to know what I doing about your suggestions now.  Pat Vroman and Chris Tucker will be attending the Blade show for GEC.  I am going to print this all out and send it to Bill as a personal message.    I have seen some wonderful ideas on here and the best way to present them,   Let him read it and see if anything jumps out to him that he can do "special" for us.

I want to be certain we are addressing all our options so I will also be speaking with some other folks.  I will wait until the week of the Blade to print, so if you have any other ideas, let us know.

Ultimately, I want to have the final set up by August so we have time to get the commitments and get it made before the holidays :)

While at the Blade I had the opportunity to speak with 2 different companies.  Both are looking at our options, what they have, what they can make to fit our ideas.  Cross your fingers, I think we will have our options by end of next month

Jan,

Just curious. Did you give our prospective knife makers a particular price-point to shoot for? If so, what was it? Perhaps a hundred or less? And please forgive me if that had already been discussed or mentioned.

Cheers!

Ron

P.S. ~ And, before I forget ~ Thanks for keeping those of us who couldn't make it to Atlanta up to speed on what was happening at the show -- also for all the pics you posted! Thanks for all you do to keep us in the know!!!
