Thanks Johnny, It is getting close and time is flying by! I have my orders finished up and now I can dedicate all (most) of my knife time to OKCA.

Here is one I finished up, I posted it over in Customs forum and got some good feedback. I will making a few changes but thought I would share since I put up the teaser...
Planned Changes:
- Thin out the guard to make it more delicate and less bulky
- Soften out the handle in the palm swell.

And my favorite to date. It is a little guy but that is ok (I guess). Inspired and encouraged by John Doyle and Mike Turner, thanks guys

We have fresh snow headed off to hit the slopes!
 
Have fun on the slopes! We're up in Tahoe at the family cabin enjoying a bit of snow with the kids right now.......and I feel guilty because I'm not in the shop. I need to work on relaxing a bit sometimes.
 
Hi, Gene and Sally Martin of Provision Forge will be there. Gene will have his knives and blades, and I will have my mosaic pins. Our tables are Q10 and Q11, right next to Pete.
 
Here is a glimpse at what I have ready so far.

Any updates anyone? It is getting closer... I will get the table list updated ASAP.

Sally, I believe I met Gene at the Boise, ID Show. I bought a few of your mosaic Pins but the one I really wanted was sold out! I will definitely visit the table in April.

Mark Look forward to avoiding your tables ;)

Ben the scales on that one second from the top look pretty serious! Looking good Buddy
 
I have my hotel reservations made. Last year I came to the show for the first time and my mind was completely blown. After leaving all my money with Pete Pruyn, Ed Schempp, Jose Diaz and Gene & Sally Martin I wandered aimlessly with my eyes glazed over for the rest of the day. This year I'll be there all three days and will try to take it a little slower.

Money well-spent Billy, this year make sure you stop by John Doyle's table, it will be the one with all the awards on it.:D
 
I should have everyone updated on the table list... let me know if I missed you.
 
Too bad they don't list who is attending on the website. I am really curious to know who all is going to be there.
 
You can look at the OKCA "Knewsletter" from April 2011 and they have a diagram of last year's show. Granted, of course things will be a little different this year, but a lot of the same people will be there.

Basically I'm saying use last year's list for reference :)
 
See you all there. OKCA is always slow to post the table holders list. It should be up soon though.
