The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
The Community knives are on their way, lets have a little fun
The 2014 Community knives were sent priority, on the way to their new homes today :) I have not posted a picture of any of them (haha). I am excited that each of the handle materials have small variances in it, so no two will be exactly alike. Donnie reviewed them all for me so I have not seen all of them either, BUT I WANT TO!! So I am going to offer up a Queen Maroon handled Country Cousin knife for a photo contest prize. This will run a little while because 4 knives are making their way to other parts of the world.
So here are the guidelines
Post a picture of your 2014 IKC Community knife with something unique to your area and enter it here. Lets see how creative we can be with our own city, state or country
I will choose 3 impartial judges. I think we run this for about a month, I want those going out of the country to show us theirs also. Lets see if we can get every knife to show back up on here.
Ready, set, SHOOT YOUR PICTURES!

J.J.,
Nobody around here cooks Okra, but I've had it in Louisiana gumbo. Irmo reminds me of the mythical town of Grady, SC - (Micanopy [mick-ah-No-pee], FL - was where the movie was shot) the "Squash Capitol Of the South" in the movie "Doc Hollywood"
J.J. Smith III said:Irmo, SC, Home of the "OKRA STRUT".
History of the Okra Strut -
The Lake Murray-Irmo Woman’s Club was looking for a way to raise money to build a new library. Their answer came in a 1973 WIS Radio broadcast. Gene McKay, a personality on the morning show, had his imagination piqued by a small, downtown Irmo hardware store named The Ancient Irmese General Store.”What were these Ancient Irmese like?”, pondered McKay, “Probably short people — a farming tribe who lived off okra!”
That October, a modest arts and crafts sale named the Okra Strut was held inside Seven Oaks Park. The Woman’s Club began the long standing tradition of frying and selling okra.
It wasn’t until the sixth Okra Strut that the event was moved outdoors to downtown Irmo. By December 1980, the slimy green veggie had given Irmo its first library on the corner of Harbison Boulevard and St. Andrews Road.
Today the festival is managed by a board of committee members appointed by the Irmo Town Council and we are proud to say, “we are the nation’s original celebration of Okra.” The festival is now a two day event featuring a street dance, parade, arts and crafts, rides and amusements, petting zoo, and lots of festival food. Attendance for the celebration is estimated at 55,000 annually.Money raised by the festival is put back into the community through civic and school organizations, scholarships and improvements of public areas.

You all are a tough act to follow, but here goes. My knife is shown in front of a photo of the Tate Museum, which is a part of the community college, at sunrise. Between the knife and the museum is a spanking new sculpture of a T-Rex dinosaur which is about 3/4 life size. Since fossil bones are found frequently around Wyoming, this critter doesn't seem out of place.

Wyoming is a great state. If I had the wherewithal to just pick up and move anywhere I wanted, it would be Wyoming.
On the east side of Yellowstone (but not in Yellowstone) is a magnificent valley surrounded by 13,000 foot mountains. You go over Beartooth Pass or Dead Indian Pass to get in it. Buffalo Bill had his hunting camp in this valley. There are signs on the road over Dead Indian Pass saying "This is grizzly country."
The state of Wyoming has about twice the area of Alabama but only has about half the population of the Birmingham area in it. The largest city in Wyoming has a population of about 60,000.

Wyoming or Montana, either one would work for me Charles
