NKCA & NKM Commemorative Knives & Values

During the past 36 years the National Knife Collectors Association and the National Knife Museum have produced several limited edition commemorative knives to celebrate special events, anniversaries, fundraisers, membership drives and certain knife shows.  

 

You will notice that the first several knives in the list below are titled NKC&DA, meaning National Knife Collectors & Dealers Association; this was our original name and was changed in the State of Tennessee in 1978 to the National Knife Collectors Association, Inc. (NKCA).  You may also notice that the total quantity produced is missing from several of the columns, that’s either because there were never a specific determined amount produced or the amount was not kept or recorded to file.
