"A fire piston! I found one on ebay that a man made here in the U.S. (imagine that) and it's a fun way to try lighting a fire. With practice it would be a great tool in a kit.

Chris North commented on SkogKniv's group Bushcrafters Corner"Hey Ivars, have you tried Condor knives? I have two of the bushcraft models, the older one that was a bit thicker and the newer one with a longer cutting edge and thinner blade. They both work well, but the thinner one seems to feather sticks…"

National Knife Collector Association- Local Chapter
The local chapter of the National Knife Collectors Association. Our little place to discuss the needs of knife collectors and for feedback and ideas for this important knife organization.
Chris North replied to Scott King's discussion If you could get any knife for Christmas..."I'd love a Busse SAR-6 INFI, but one better would be a Randall Model 1 fighter like my uncle carried in the Korean war."
Chris North left a comment for Jason Hak"Thanks for the comment on my pictures! I've been away from the computer for awhile. I liked your video on the Husky bag. I'm thinking about getting one myself!"
Chris North replied to Chris North's discussion Red Scorpion Six knives"I won the Raven on Ebay. There's no way I'd pay that much either! I think it was Dave Beck's knife design and the movie "The Hunted" that really made it popular."

Welcome, and thanks for joining IKC, the “next generation of knife collectors”. Scott King the founder and brainchild of this forum as well as Elephant Toe Nails www.ellephanttoenails.com , his collecting obsession as you can see there And he the founder and editor, contributor of almost all content and at large of Cutlery News Journal www.cutlerynewsjournal.com – Enjoy, I have been a member since September ’09 and found it educational and fun. I have seen custom knife maker’s bloom and seen posting from knife legends like A.G. Russell. I see collector that are new here with 50 years collecting under their belt and those like me seriously collecting for three or four years. So there is something for everyone. The custom knife maker, the folder collector the hunter collector and those like me who have a passion for them all and have not discovered my niche. Most of all – ask and dig in….. There is a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips here.
Happy New Year and May God Bless!
