Hello All!

I figured that I would let anyone who was interested have a reminder about the upcoming Lakeland Show.

It is Feb. 16-18 at the Lakeland Center in Lakeland, Florida. It is a knives only show with 168 tables. There will be makers, purveyors, suppliers, production knives old and new, and plenty of people to talk about knives with.

If I remember right it is $4.00 a day or $6.00 for all three(I'm not sure whether I remember this part right or not). Parking is free as long as you tell the parking attendants that you are there to attend the knife show. In the Florida area look in some of the local papers starting today for an ad about the show which will give you a buck off of entry. They are putting out ads in the Ocala area paper, I belive an Orlando paper and the Tampa Tribune.

The Lakeland Center is in Lakeland, Florida off of I-4. When coming from Tampa it is exit number 16. I'm not sure if it is the same exit number coming from the Orlando area or not. There are signs on I-4(small ones!) that state Lakeland Center, and signage after you get off that will lead you in the right direction fairly well, hopefully!

This is a nice show with a fair crowd every year, well worth a visit if you have the time. I look forward to maybe seeing some of you there.

Take care.

I plan to be there on Saturday. Don't miss it, it is one of the best knife shows in Florida. A great mix of everything new and old.

Russ,

Wow... nice bit of wildlife dentistry! You must have had a real PO'd alligator on your hands after you pulled that tooth.

BTW, does anyone know if they are running an auction on Saturday after the show?

Not2sharp,

I just checked page they have up at the Florida Knifemakers site. Yes, they are having an auction Sat. night. I don't know what time or where though.

The other thing I forgot to mention is the raffles they do at the door. There are four customs donated by makers that will be raffled off. You can pick which one, or all four, that you wish to try for.

Oh, and Russ, I'm not sure , but I think it takes more than one nice gator sheath to be an honorary member. Probably at least 5 or 6!

Take care and hope to see some of you at the show.

I will be there all day Friday and Saturday. I will alternate between sitting at Reese Weiland's table and roaming the show.
