On Nov. 3rd, Dave Ammons, President of the AKCA, and I finalized a settlement on the outstanding balance owed me for the hosting of this domain and its server maintenance.

Dave and I both feel that there are many differences between the AKCA and the CSCA, some of which are detrimental to the knife hobby as it exists in Phoenix.  Thus an important reason in settling this debt between myself and the AKCA.  For those of you that might be curious, it was settled for approximately half of the amount and payable in cash and show tables at the 2008 AKCA show.

Hopefully this will lead towards renewed trust and cooperation of knife enthusiasts in Arizona.  All hobbyists should feel welcome where they wish to be, and Dave and I are going to try to make that felt and understood.

The AKCA.net and ArizonaKnifeCollectors.com domains are, or will soon be, in transfer status to the AKCA as part of the settlement.
