Arkansas Custom Knife Show 2013 - Show Us what you Got

I'm sure it will Jon. If you ever have any questions, shoot me a message, or call. I don't know a lot, but I'm more than happy to share what little I do know.

pig_sticker,

Thanks!!!

Do you know who made that long and sleek Persian fighter in the next to last picture, in the middle of the picture right next to the "Pearl" card? I don't remember seeing that one posted here and I woiuld really like to see a higher resolution picture of just that knife.

I made that one. I still have a few things that I need to do to it before I have pictures taken of it and send it to the buyer. :) I will probably post the pictures of it on here when Chuck is finished taking pictures of it.

As for me, I loved the show! I only brought one knife back with me and most of what I sold was gone after the first 2-3 hours of the show opening. Typically I don't stay around my table a whole lot, since Brittani runs me off. So I end up going around and bugging unsuspecting victims, without getting in the way too much. I was planning on taking a few shots of the show, but there were so many people that it was hard for me to really shoot anything with my camcorder. Not that I am complaining. ;)

Logan,

I really hope that you do post some pictures here so we can get a better look at it. From that one picture it is kind of hard to see too much about it, but from what I can see it t looks like an interesting knife.
 
This was my first Arkansas show and safely say, it was the best knife show I have ever been to. This is what a knife show (in my mind) should be - nothing but the best makers all bringing their best work. I don't want to see a bunch of factory made knives I can buy anywhere at a show. If I'm going to buy a plane ticket and fly somewhere, I don't feel the need to fawn over the same thing I can buy at my local Army & Navy Surplus store. I had heard from many people that Arkansas is one of the better shows out there, I was a little skeptical but now I understand. BLADE is awesome, quite impressive actually due to the sheer size and diversity but the consistent quality table to table just isn't there. Not only that but the people, it's a steel nerd family reunion. :) I took a bunch of pictures of knives but considering almost all the pics were posted earlier in the thread, I won't include my low quality pictures of high quality blades. :)

The opening of the show on Saturday AM.

I hope to make BLADE this year but might not. Fingers crossed! Thanks again to all who made this show great!:D
 
^ Albert, those two Mike Jr Fighters look lean & mean. The man can make a fighter!!!
