Information About Annual Collectible Knives

Tar Heel Cutlery Club introduces an Annual Knife for sale to members and the general public (if available).  Only 100 knives are made, 50 etched and numbered and 50 unetched and numbered. These knives are made exclusively for our club and for no one else. Our Club has offered, so far, 32 of these Annual Knives.

Our members have the right to reserve a numbered knife so that they will always have the same number. 
These knives are very popular with collectors and usually sell out rather quickly.

At the NKCA museum in Sieverville, TN you can see the entire collection of these Annual Knives
