It is a coded digital push button that must be entered by the person in charge of the group meeting. The doors can not be blocked open or an alarm will go off. Therefore, we need two volunteers at the meeting to man the upper and lower doors to allow members to enter. The doors must be manned from 6:15 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. to allow enough time to have the members come in. Please do not arrive any earlier than 6:15 p.m. or you will be standing outside. We will not know the changeable code until the day before the meeting. If you can volunteer to man (or woman) one of the doors, please call Bob Schrap at 414-771-6472 or the club cell phone at 414-379-6819.

It was one of the five best knife shows that I have attended over the past thirty-five years. “You and your very capable, friendly, efficient helpers did a most OUTSTANDING job organizing and conduct- ing the show.

From Dave Eberhart : “My son and I attended the show Saturday and had a great time. Very friendly people at the front door, a mem- ber of the club came over and asked if my son could have a pocket knife, of course! There was a great selection of ex- hibitors and some really fantastic work. They were ex- tremely friendly and encouraged us to handle their knives. To top it off, one of them said he gives a custom knife away each year to a youngster and this year it was for my son. WOW. Great show, thanks.” (Editor: That knife maker is Larry Franklin from Stoughton, WI. Thanks, Larry.) Thank you Bob Schrap for successfully running 30 BKC Shows!

  • Best Factory Knives of Blade's First 40 Years
    BEST FACTORY KNIVES OF BLADE’S FIRST 40 YEARS Table of Contents Chapter 1 Best Factory Knives 1973-1988 Chapter 2 Best Factory Knives 1989-2000 Chapter 3 Best Factory Knives 2001-2012 Chapter 1 Best Factory Knives 1973-1988 They may have been your father’s knives or your grandfather’s knives—they may even be your knives. To help celebrate its 40th anniversary, BLADE released a three-part series recognizing the top 40 factory knives over that span (1973-2013). The first chapter pinpoints the top factory knives from 1973-88. We compiled a list of some top factory knives over that stretch and submitted them to a panel of veteran knife observers and asked them to select their top five to 10—or however many they felt comfortable choosing. Though “top factory knives” can be subjective, we determined a top factory knife is one that excelled in terms of setting a standard that other companies attempted to emulate, and/or excelled in quality of craftsmanship, originality and creativity—or both. We no doubt inadvertently omitted knives that should be included. As a result, we asked our panel members to add those and rank them in their lists, too. The panel members: knife writers James Morgan Ayres, BLADE field editor Kim Breed, Durwood Hollis, Blade Magazine Cutlery Hall-Of-Fame member Bernard Levine and Mac Overton; Pete Cohan, former curator of the National Knife Museum; writer/photographer Terrill Hoffman; Roy Huntington, editor of American Handgunner Magazine; and Rick Thronburg of William Henry. Some of the knives ranked herein were made before 1973.
