The News from ElephantToenails.com

Got a pretty interesting, and in some cases, amusing conversation going over at the Elephant Toenail Collector Club at iKnifeCollector. One of our members asked me to post a question to the group pertaining to ideas for modernizing the toenail.

After you catch your breath, come stick your head in. It’s pretty interesting, plus A. G. Russell has now jumped into the mix.

At the risk of y’all stringing me up by my toenails here’s one idea I had.

A tactical toenail

You know we’ve had a hard time getting one of the traditional knife makers to produce the swellcenter today, so how about it going tactical? Then all the younger tactical guys (the majority of the buying market) would be a breath away from becoming bona fide toenail collectors, wouldn’t they? Bet a few would eventually cross over to the old ones too.

We’re just having a little fun, but I think the idea has legs. Can’t you just see ZT, RAT or Strider all producing them? I can. Heck, if the majority of collectors accept a sleeveboard style “toenail” as a toenail, then they’d accept these new models too.

It’s official now-

This is a video recorded to let the YouTube knife folks know about iKnifeCollector

The Grand Opening of iKnifeCollector- the new online knife community has not been announced yet, but a few folks are signing up already (Thanks Ken- the Secretary/Treasurer of the Elephant Toenail Collector Club).

So, let me offer you a sneak peek. iKnifeCollector is all about people- knife people- all knife people, young and old, tactical or antique collectors (and everything in between), and now we have us a special place to gather.

One of the cool features of our community there is the ability to form Groups. They are special gatherings of collectors with the same interest. I went ahead and formed us a group there and want you to join us. Look on the main menu for “Groups,” then click Elephant Toenail Collectors.

As time goes on, ETC will give us a place to gather and talk about topics of interest- real discussions, not just comments to one of my post like here at The News.

Groups is just one of about 15 really cool features of iKC, so head that way and become a Charter Member.

See ya there- but don’t tell anyone else about it yet…I’m still moving in myself and trying to get it ready.

If you haven’t yet you can read some details about iKC in my latest post at CNJ. Don’t let the tech talk make you think it is too geeky..cause it’s not. In fact, I’m even expecting Roger (the ETCC Vice President) to pop in there too.

I’m ready for you guys to discuss toenails, cause I know after over a year, you may be getting tired of me doing all the talking.

Here’s the link. See ya there.

Oh yeah, thanks for all the cards and flowers, but I am now over my recent agony.

Hey guys, we are having a little contest over at CNJ I wanted to make you aware of.
