We are a diverse group of people that have come together based on a common factor -- an interest in various forms of knives and cutlery. Associated with that is the fun of finding, buying, selling, trading, and owning examples of what might be man's oldest tool. We meet once a month in Bloomington, Minnesota -- a Minneapolis suburb -- and publish a monthly newsletter. At our meetings there is buying, selling, trading, appraisals, and storytelling. Periodically there are speakers and regularly we hold an auction where knives sometimes change hands at amazingly low prices.
