Here's a few that caught my eye. Hopefully it's OK to assemble the thread with a post for each picture. My wife left for work at 6AM and as I was getting the tots ready to rumble my sister-in-law said that I can drop them off for a few hours. We may have to run off together at some point. And them I got meter parking front and center for $1.
The first is clearly my favorite fixed blade maker and spending a few minutes speaking with Mr. Polkowski and his wife confirmed my opinions. I guess that others have the same opinion since they were almost sold out on Saturday morning.
 
Then the Crawford table unfortunately had a uniquely designed Point Guard that badly wanted to come live in New Jersey, but I have one more tax payment to make and I'm not sure how much it is. It's the black micarta handled one to the right of the traditional Point Guards towards the middle left on the bottom. I hope that it's still available when I have a few extra bucks.
And hopefully I'm not out of line in any way to say, but a production company bringing that particular design on board may be one of the great no-brainers of our time.
 
And the Elishewitz Knives kinda blew me away with their design and craftsmanship. Probably gonna have to do one of those one day.
 
Hi Cory,

Thanks for the great photos. I also enjoyed meeting you there. This was my first knife show, and it was a real pleasure to talk with some of the artists I've only read about. It was also great to handle so many fantastic knives - especially the ones that on my budget were previously only in my dreams. My only complaint is that it wasn't larger. Thanks again.

Thanks for the pics, AP. I did a fair amount of fiscal damage on Fri., but I'll be back tomorrow for a bit more.:) :cool:
 
Anklepocket, great pictures!

Sorry I did not get a chance to meet you.

Unfortunately for my finances but fortunately for my "knife libido" I went hog wild this week.

I got the ATCF from Bladeart on Friday as we were leaving for the show. then picked up Crawford and Lum in NYC, which was great BTW :D

The smudges are on my scanner not the knives, too tired to wash it...
 
Thanx for the pictures.
It was a great show and I'm sorry I missed you all.
We got there at about 3:30 or so & stayed till 5:30.
I'll have to scan my score...
:D
 
Not at all. It was supposed to be an action shot of Al taking a look at my Polkowski Small Nomad and answering a question about belt and neck carry. There's a lot going on there.
 
Polkowski makes some of those "simple yet elegant" knives that were talked about on a thread a few days ago. I haven't seen many that appeal to me more than that CQ. I remember an article in Combat Knives a while back. It was called "The Defenseman's Knifemaker, Al Polkowski". I have lusted for one ever since. I will have one, one day.
 
Good pics, Cory. Thanks for the extra views. Sorry we missed saying hello.

Cpirtle--YOU are unbelievable!!! Now THAT'S dedication. Good on ya'.
