National Knife Collectors Association Inc. ©
As NKCA Members, we strongly encourage our Youth to get involved in knife collecting at an early age. We want them to understand that knives were originally used as tools, not weapons, and should continue to be used as such. We by all means do not want our children or teenagers to misrepresent the use of cutlery at home, in their schools, or in their neighborhoods. Knife collecting, as with any other type of hobby, can be a fun, rewarding, and interesting adventure for children of all ages.
Here at the NKCA we have a Youth Committee consisting of several NKCA Board Members, all of whom have children and/or grandchildren of their very own. They are continually experimenting with new ideas, programs, and services to interest our youth. As previously mentioned, knife collecting is an interesting and enjoyable hobby for people of all ages!
If you have ideas you would like to share with our Youth Committee, please e-mail Youth Committee Chairman, Chuck Bunce at cgbinal@aol.com.
