I would like to Thank all of the folks that took part and helped to make this another really great event. if you were there and took pictures please feel free to add them to this thread. lets start with some of the folks that attended, and we will get to some knives later.

lets mix in a few knives hear this first knife I would like to show you is one of me firvate knives this year I call it the horseshoe fighter I have not seen this done before but I think it must have been as it is such a good fit for a butt cap.

 

[D lisch]

Kevin and Lorien,
I am hoping to see you both there next year

 

[Lorien]

Keep posting Dave!
There was way too much cool stuff going on at this years show! Really hope y'all invite me back next year, too!!! :thumbup:
And I really want to thank all of you for making these shows as good as they are - besides eating more and better than I ever do, the art we get exposed to is just getting better with each show!
Any chance a pic or two of that sword might get posted? That would be great since it's now 3500 miles away...

Dave, That's the coolest horse shoe I had ever seen. It looks great on the butt of your fantastic knife! If you wore a suit or a sports coat how about a picture of that. That must be a picture of Micheal and his wife to be. Sounds like a great show.

We had a great time at the show Dave! Everything about it was just outstanding! I can't think of anything at all that could have made it any better. The makers and attendees were all wonderful, the food was top-notch and the knives...man, the knives were just stunning! It was a total blast!

 

[stabber]

Joe the food was good it will be hard to top that next year I let you be the judge of that. Mitch will post some more pics when he can. this is the D guard I made for the show

 

[D lisch]

[D lisch]

Thanks STeven I will try that soon

 

[Kevin Jones]

Yes, the "D Guard" Bowie is very nice.

 

[D lisch]

thanks Kevin one of the coolest things about how I made the D guard is that I forge welding the frame together no pins it is a new technique I am working on and it has a lot of potential next time I try it I am going to try it with wrought iron I will let you know how it works out.

I had a fantastic time as expected. The group of makers that comprise ACE are just fine and talented folks. I am trying to organize some photo's I have to add but have to say this show has become a must for me. There were outstanding knives and as was the case last year I met many fine collectors as well. The venue speaks very well to collector appreciation from the makers and is made quite evident by the quality or work they all bring to the show. The banquet was top notch, great food and plenty of time to spend as much time as possible with any of the makers something I know I miss at larger shows. Thanks for the hospitality and I look forward to seeing you next Year.

Jon.
