NKCA Knives & Values

In 1975 the NKCA began producing limited edition Club Knives for MEMBERS ONLY.  These knives have increased in value over the years and now only the knives that are pre-ordered by the members are produced.  The lower the quantity produced, the higher the collector value. In 1989 the NKCA began producing two Club Knives to give the members a choice in selection, this continued until 1996.  From 1997 through 2004 only one knife was produced and then in 2005 we went back to producing two Club Knives each year to once again give our members a selection in choice.

 

The cut-off date for ordering the 2008 Club Knives has now ended. We will begin taking orders for the 2009 Club Knives in November of 2008. You will be able to order your knives from our web site once the Officers & Directors have made their 2009 Club Knife selections. Remember, you MUST be an NKCA Member to order!
