Sorry guys, I don't have any pics.

Just wanted to say this show was amazing. The group of people both behind the tables and those coming in to visit were all top-notch.

I didn't get to see too many knives, as I was busy at my table and by the time I got around a little almost all the knives were gone.

I got to help out with the auction on Saturday night, that was fun. Tim Ryan, the acutioneer is first rate.

We don't really have a "pit" there like we do in Atlanta, but we all made do and found places to sit around and shoot the breeze after hours.

This show is headed for ranking as one of the best in the country from what I can see.

If you came this year, THANK YOU, and if you didn't make it, I sure hope you can next year. This show is well worth airfare and hotel, no doubt about it.

Thanks!!!

Luana, and I went Friday, and Saturday, and had a great time. Met some great knifemakers, and friendly people.
Even saw, and talked to nifrand(Randy):D
We went last year as well, and this year was even better as we picked up a couple of knives from Mike, and Audra Draper. They were not forged knives though, and had to do our business outside the show. A 3/4 Sabra done by Mike in a folder with silver G10 scales, and "The Rose" Sabra from Audra for Luana which was a collaboration knife with a serial #1 in titanium handle, and giraffe bone overlays all in a rose color. Luana named them the "His & Hers" Sabras. They are titanium handled with 3" blades of S30V. No pics though that I can show here as I am a basic member.:(
Ready to do it again next year :D

Really enjoyed the pics, and being there enjoyed them that much more.
I fully agree about it being a great show, and one of the best I have been to.
Thanks for posting the URL from CKD.
