Atlanta BLADE Show Question

[razorhunter]

I will be attending the BLADE Show in Atlanta this year for the first time. With all of the other smaller knife shows that I attended, MANY of the sellers did not/could not accept credit cards.
Will the major manufacturers at the BLADE show accept credit cards this year?
Also, I will be looking to pick up a Small Sebenza and I'm wondering what Chris Reeves selection will be like? Will it be rather large, or small? How about other companies?

Most folks will accept credit cards and there are numerous ATM's and bank branches around and in the Galleria.
Many of the major manufacturers do not sell their standard products since many of the dealers who support them are present. Some sell at wholesale and others sell to end customers. Chris usually has a booth and sells his knives at Blade. It is always manned well.

As a rule of thumb, most manufacturors have booths while the makers and dealers have tables, but that is not always the case. A small manufacturer might have a small table or two (especially during their first year). There are some larger dealers and established makers that have booths. Sometimes makers get togethter on a collaboration and introduce it in a booth. It is not unusual to see some companies and individuals have multiple booths or more than 2 tables. Don't worry there is a lot of room and it takes all three days to really take in the show and then there will be a few things that may have been missed .

I hope you enjoy the Show and that I get a chance to meet you.
