Well it's that time of the year again and Jerry's Micro Show is upon us.
Yes, next Friday, Saturday and Sunday a couple dozen or so custom knife enthusiast will invade tiny Nashville Arkansas. This will be the forth year for the show and will be attended by featured makers Craig Camerer, Daniel Winkler and Karen Shook.
It's a fun filled few days of tours of local maker's shops, visiting the old James Black Shop (really recommend taking the tour if ever in the area), partaking of good old down home food, observing various knife making processes, taking part in seminars, handling and buying some great knives and most importantly just enjoying one another's company and having a great time. I'm proud to say, I have met a few of my best friends as a result of attending this show.
This year Bruce Voyles will attend and speak. I'm really looking forward to it as I have never meet him. The idea of the CKCA was actually conceived out of Steve Shankleford's seminar last year.
Past speakers have included AG Russell, Bob Neal, Les Robertson and Steve Shackleford.
Looks like these small format shows are really catching on. Josh Smith was successful in putting one on this past June and there's the Wickenburg Caballero Roundup http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=577468 coming up the first weekend in December in Arizona featuring Larry Fuegen, Harvey Dean, Rick Dunkerley and Tim Hancock.
How do you feel about these small specialty shows?
Do you see yourself ever attending one?
Do you feel these shows will continue to pop up or are here to stay?
Will they have an affect on the more conventional large format shows?
OK, let's see some show knives:
