A few more Blade Show 2007 photos

[cockroachfarm]

As a small addendum to Vincent's excellent photo thread, here are a few candid shots from Blade.

Tom Mayo and Todd Begg.

Our Canadian tactical genius - Greg Lightfoot.

More Canadians, eh! Knifemaker Eric Elson from London, Ontario.

The always-entertaining Maitre Coutelier, Christoph Deringer, and his amazing origami creatures.

Courtney Bradshaw, Mastersmith Bailey Bradshaw, and leading international knife purveyor, Neil Ostroff (True North Knives).

The brilliant engraver from England, Simon Lytton.

Slipjoint artiste extraordinaire, Bill Ruple, discussing the finer points of filing with slipjoint maker Rick Nowland.

Two more members of Ruple's Rangers - Don Morrow and Rusty Preston.

Need to add another to the Ruples Rangers gang.

Johnny Stout delivered one to me that is as nice as any I own.
Bill has been spending time with him also.

Holger, As always it was great to see you!

Thanks for the pictures.

Yes, but is it as nice as the one he delivered to ME on Thursday afternoon? (And will it be as nice as the Doctor's Knife he is making for me NOW?)

Great to see you too, Gus. As always. :thumbup: (BTW, I kept 2 of my special "Reminder Bands" aside for you - and then didn't see you again. Still want them? )

Holger, you are going to love that DR knife (Take my word on it.)

Looks like he is going to do a few whittlers. (Time to jump in on those too.)

Bands - Yes thank you!

I love doing candids. (some photos were NOT posted due to the fact that they were a little TOO candid and the subjects threatened to convert my **** to a sheath if I posted them.)
