We are fortunate to be the staff photographers for this long-standing show based in NJ overlooking Manhattan.
Susan and I drive there, as it's only 90 mins from our home, and we set up early Friday morning. From that point until Sunday @ 1pm, I always had a project demanding my lens. That's when I finally stepped into the Show Hall to glad hand and observe.
BTW: Susan and I walked down the street to a local Bertucci's chain for Friday dinner, and it's more than adequate. In fact, they cooked a gourmet dinner. Highly recommended.
The following evening we walk a block from the venue to the Path station, and a $9 MetroCard and 30 min subway ride drops us off right in Manhattan at 9th street and the Avenue of the America's. We walked to the edge of Greenwich Village and ate at Tio Pepe's Spanish restaurant. Delicious food, VERY friendly service = 30% tip. Join us next year?
We packed up quietly on Sunday afternoon while the van was valet-delivered, and we were home in time to relax by 4pm.
Let's talk knives....
What I see through MY end of the lens is a variety of simple and incredibly elaborate knives, as testimony to the diversity of this show. Many knives missed me altogether.
Joel Chamblin horsemen's knife. Ten implements.
Kevin Cross brought an array of his chef's knives to the table. Here's a sampling:
Barry Davis brought from a collector. This collector tells me he used my site to view a selection of Barry's knives, and picked out elements he wanted to include because of this resource. Props!
Another collector brought me this pair of Dellana knives. This first one is her signature model...
...and the second adorns the cover of DDD's book on her and Van.
