Anyone like the NKCA or NKM knives?

[Rookie82]

My first main collection was focused around the NKCA youth knives. I know the National Knife Collectors Association and the National Knife Museum no longer exist, but there are certainly a lot of knives related to both of them circulating around (nearly 40 years worth). Does anybody collect or own any knives from these organization? If so, show them here!

Here is my collection of NKCA youth knives from 1990-2013, along with the commemoratives and prototypes that go along with them.

I enjoy reading about them in Knife World, or did anyway, I need to re-up my subscription. Weren't some custom, but most of them were factory SFOs for the Club?

I almost bought one of the S&M NKCA youth barlows, found at a local place. It was a cool knife.

Nearly all were from either Case, Queen (or S&M), Bear & Son, Buck, Kissing Crane, etc. However, the from 2011 on, the frames/blades were made at factories, and then Michael Prater / Painted Pony added fancy handle materials to them.
