This gentleman is Gordon Smith who amazed me by telling me this was only his second knife show. More amazing still was the knife i bought from him. His fourth effort. No one would believe it. The fit and action are perfect. He must be a very fast learner, having spent some time with Montana Mastersmith Barry Gallagher
Gordon is a very experienced glass artist from New Mexico and he showed a few glass and metal letter openers that were a great addition to the normal knife show repertoire. Very classy stuff i assure you. I wish my pictures were better but alas this is what you get. His stuff is a must see fellas!

My knife is pictured in the middle
The next bunch are Tucson guys:
Paul Vandine of Circle P knives http://circlepknives.net/vcom/index.php
He has a great cross section of knives , makers and prices.
Hans Weinmuller ,here holding some of his stock models, has some marvelous miniatures worth a look.
Last but not least is Charles "Voltaire" Prokopp , a Neo-tribal member who tutored under Master Tai Goo, has some great historical pieces, daggers and quite a few other knife variations.
There were many more marvelous makers there but I only can provide a taste of the treats you all can sample next year in Mesa.
