Suddenly, a chant rises from the crowd: "DANBO! DANBO! DANBO! DANBO!..."
In the distance can be heard the low, menacing rumble of stampeding water fountains.
The sky darkens ominously. Fear soaks into the strangely still air.
We can only stand silently and wait for the inevitable.
Maker of small, exquisite gentleman's
pocket fixed blades - and very silly pictures from his granddaughter - Mr. Don Cowles.
(No one told him that tribal headgear is optional at Blade).
From Alaska, knifemaker David Mirabile. It was a real pleasure for me to finally meet him.
His fixed blades are imbued with a sense of "nature" that I have never experienced in another maker's work.
My good friend, California knifemaker Jeff Hall.
His company, Nemesis Knives introduced several exciting new models at this Blade show.
Keep an eye on Nemesis Knives in the future - it's been a sleeper.
Another friend, the imperturbable Jot Singh Kalsa from Boston.
Lots of folks checking out this hot maker - Tom Krein.
Knifemaker Chuck Gedraitis.
BLADE Magazine Field Editor, Dexter Ewing. A superb wordsmith of knifely knews.
Canadian maker, Brian Tighe and some old guy. Forgot to get his name - I think it's Cerson, Carson?
He showed me the folding knife that he was carrying in his pocket. Take it from me, I think this is an up-and-coming maker from
whom we will hear a lot more in the future. (Rumour has it that he once made a lock-back.
But I don't believe it any more than I believe the rumours about the city of Atlantis or the Holy Grail. Myths. Nothing more.)
An international collector of the most exquisite fine art folders ever made, my dear friend John Anthony from the UK.
