New movie comming out in April with all star cast headed by Sylvester Stallone called The Expendables.

NKCA Knife Show in Dalton, Ga this weekend

Due to contraints on my schedule I don't get to many knife shows during the year, but this weekend so far my schedule is working out to go.

When I first started collecting knives, I just didn't get it. No, I didn't get knife shows- not at all.

Honestly, I just

I'm here- just holed up in my office

If you've been a member here at iKC for very long you've probably noticed the blog post feed of Cutlery News Journal piped into our community's homepage. That's my personal collector's blog I've written for about a year and a half now. Well, got some changes coming down the pike that I'm pretty excited about, and I think you'll like them too.

A Name By Any Other....

I recently had a conversation with a constable during the Winter Olympics, and things naturally got around to knives. After going through the aspects of form versus function, the black and white of certain grey areas, we got around to the idea of the knife as a defensive tool. This chiefly revolved around the idea of the knife being used for Self-Defence, which I contended was a misnomer, and that what people "really" meant was… Continue

Knife Quotes

I don't look at a knife the way I used to. I'm more aware of what it is. I think twice. This is a key finger. It's in every chord.

300 year old Sticky Pine Knives project

Received a piece of 300 year old sticky pine from Andy the Axeman. I decided I will cut it in two for two full tang knives. I will make one Bowie for myself and a Nessmuk for Andy. Attached herewith the progress pics. I have forged the Bowie from an old file and the Nessmuk from a Land Cruiser suspension. I have finished the Bowie off with a Bleach etch to give it an aged look, and it will receive an iron guard and pommel. Will update this blog with progress pics as I go along.

What is under the CRKT Bear Claw scales?

I've always wanted a CRKT Bear Claw since I saw it long ago. I was into knives and martial weapons since I was a kid, but when I saw a hawkbill blade somewhere and then eventually learned of the Bear Claws and then the Karambit, i knew I wanted one of each.

But what happened was I skipped the Bear Claw as I couldn't find any here in the Philippines. I was able to find a Karambit quickly enough, A Mantis Cinq3, then I found a decent hawkbill blade, a knockoff knif

I'm Now A Buck Knives Collectors Club Lifetime Member

I am now an official member of the Buck Knives Collectors Club, Inc. (BCCI).
My Member No. is 1972.
I have wanted to join the club for years, but just didn't ever make it happen.
When I was a teen my mother was going to pay for my membership as a Christmas gift, but I wanted something else more that year. So it just never happened. The Club was pretty new back then.
In December my mother passed away.… Continue

Smith

For all the "Smiths" out there - - -

My dad had a story that he'd tell me; He said that, long ago, when the world was young, everyone had the name of "Smith". If someone screwed up, bad enough, they had to change their name. Still a "SMITH". Continue
