It’s a fixed blade I designed and couple of knife makers from Bulgaria did put together for me…

Very cool. Looks like a beauty. I've seen that maker's mark here before if I'm not mistaken.

No Sir. This is supposed to be a “Dragon” as of the Mahjong symbol, or “Red Dragon” as the Japanese name for the red maple leaf, or one of those. It’s still associated with “Dragon” because I’m “Dragon” according to the Japanese Zodiac.
D2 steel, black Corian handle.

Well I'm an Aries in the traditional astrological calendar and born in the year of the ram in the Chinese zodiac. So I'm one stubborn SOB. It's always been fun with my sister being Taurus, The shenanigans we got involved in (and occasionally get) are epic.
 
I don't smoke or drink. I wish I could go to blade, but I'm not sure its in the cards this year. Especially since I'm not playing with a full deck.

Maybe next year. There is not a single knife out there that really peaks my interest. So much been there done that, own or owned and sold/traded/gave away. Hopefully by Blade show next year I will have more interests (and money).

This will be my second time, I went in 2017. Bring money lol if you can get the passes that let you get early access, get them. A lot of stuff sells out, so the sooner you get to be in there, the better. I think there was 1000 tables so it takes a while to check out all the blades.

Yup, and don't spend all your money at the first table, as tempting as it may be. Chances are the next table has something you like more. And the third table, even more.

It's a balancing act of knowing when to spend in order to not miss out, but also absorbing as much of the eye candy as you can, as quickly as you can. :)

I have to be there the day before to set up my booth, so I'll be able to walk around and check some stuff out before hand.
I don't impulse buy, so I should be good (though I'm sure it's still going to be very hard not to)

I'm 6'4.5", I feel your pain. When I fly, it has to be first class. I'm all legs too, 34-36" inseam.

Sucks don't it? I guess the good news we can eliminate 90% of the vehicles on the market, we don't fit in them.

I can normally get away with 36" pants. I tend to wear mid/high top shoes or hiking boots. I normally do unhemmed dress pants and those are just about 36.5" to 37". I was told the pant crease should *break* across the dress shoe. Some folks wear a lot of *floods* as we use to call short pants.

I just stocked up on half a dozen Levi's with 36" inseam. They are surprisingly hard to find, so when I see them, I buy in bulk, lol.
