Officially Closing

[JK Knives]

My accountant is starting the process of closing the business, I’ve already closed the PayPal account. Being currently on blood thinner medication I can’t be playing with sharp objects. My forum membership ends in mid January, but I don’t know when Spark will actually close it.
Thank you all for your support and friendship over all these years, and God bless you all.

best of luck, John.
If you decide to sell some of your equipment after you and Hannah make her knife, please let me know.
Even better would be if you teach her so she can carry on the business!

John,
I am sorry to hear things have come to this, but that is a selfish sentiment. What I am hoping is that this will move you where YOU need to be to deal with the issues you face. If you change your mind nd decide to keep your forum open, please let us know. I think there are enough of us willing to chip in to keep it open. Whatever you decide, best wishes and stay family strong.

Best of luck John. If you decide to keep the forum open I’m happy to chip in to help.

I would love to keep the forum open, but it’s not fair for me to ask. I don’t have PayPal anymore, but if you guys want to chip in the $75 dollars and then someone purchase it for me I would be forever grateful. Who knows, I might be back making knives someday.

Your timing is impeccable, John. I finally figured out how to get my JK hats ordered and they have arrived…

My plan was to auction off the green one to help pay for the forum, and will still plan to do that.

Best of luck with everything, John!

John,

Very sorry to hear this, but your health should come first no matter what.

I can only speak for myself, but I'd be willing to chip in to keep this sub open another year.

I can understand, John. It's the end of an era but to all things there's a season. I too would like to see the forum stick around for owners & fans of the knives and the many who call you a friend. I will chip in to keep it running!

Sad for sure - thank you for your hard work and outstanding craftsmanship. I will cherish all my JKs. I sure hope you can find a way to stick around, but I understand it's not always easy. Please keep in touch here on BF.

I'm in for a few bucks if needed. Would hate to see you go, but your health is very important.

John, I want to take a moment to thank you. Thank you for being an open and honest businessman. Thank you for being true to yourself yet open to collaboration with knuckleheads like myself. Thank you for your years of dedication to a craft that provides lifelong tools to the discerning user. I will always treasure my JK Knives and look forward to one day passing them down to my kid. Thank you for that, too.

Take care of yourself, enjoy some r&r when you can, and I'm glad to hear this little corner of the world will stick around for another year. All the best.

I am glad to just be able to come here and chat with John and friends for another year. Wishing John well and to get some rest and thankful for a place to just enjoy a respite from the craziness out there. Good news and good people are out there, we just need to appreciate it.

Sorry to hear that John, I hope things go well for you and your family. In the future If you feel like talking about old times, might be fun to have a gathering like we’ve had in the past.
Take care John, I’ll miss you.
