 Membership Agreements

I agree with the goals and activities of the Miniature Knifemakers/Collectors Society as here stated.

I agree to conduct my business or hobby with integrity, to guarantee my work (If a maker) and to refrain from any questionable transaction that would bring dishonor to myself, or the Miniature Knifemakers/Collectors Society.

I agree to support MKCS members in their quest for excellence in making, and collecting miniature knives by sharing technical advise, suggestions, sources for materials, and my experience, in letters, submitted to the editor, for publication in the quarterly MKCS newsletter.

I also agree to promote the Miniature Knifemakers/Collectors Society by sharing my enthusiasm for miniature knives as I have the opportunity.
 

  

 

 Membership Benefits
With a MKCS membership you will be included in a circle of friends who appreciate miniature knives. You will receive a newsletter which contains technical information, gives collectors’ insights, displays your miniature knives that are for sale, includes a classified ads section, tells about knife shows, and provides a forum for discussion. You will have personal access to the world’s top miniature knife makers and collectors and be included on the web site listing with your personal bio and a photo of your knife. We are an informal group of collectors and miniature knife makers of all ability levels from beginners to masters of the art. The newsletter is published quarterly by the publisher, currently Gary Kelley. Members send letters, ideas, and photos to the publisher to be included in the next newsletter.

For makers, one photo of a miniature knife that you submit will be included on the MKCS website Maker’s Page at no charge to you. Send a good photo print, or email a jpeg file to garykelley@theblademaker.com. If you send a photo of yourself we’ll try to include it in the newsletter.
