What an experience we had!

Thank you to all the wonderful people who took their time to say "Hello" to us! We are exhausted from all the fun and games, our faces hurt from the smiles and our hands are ready to get back to work!

Here are a few of our favorite pics!

We scored a few nice Busse's including a short butaniku in aged bronze, which is not pictured,.....didn't fit in the luggage ;)


Can't wait for next year already!!

also, I picked up a copper bottle opener from forum member jdieseljoe69, I absolutely love it and it's had lot's of use already ;)
Thank you!







it was a special treat to meet Jerry Busse!!




The whole Busse crew was amazing and we will see you next year FOR SURE!

Al & DeAnn
 
Thanks for sharing Al! Looks like you had a great time and great score on the CGB8 :thumbup:
 
It was great to meat you guys, in fact I think that might be my starting-to-go-bald head in the background in the picture with Jerry. I picked up a Smokey with the same blue/black G10 handles. It was a great time indeed. Congrats on the scores.
 
Congrats Al! The urban camo SMD looks schweet, and the CG B-8.... Score!!!!! :thumbup:
 
Nice scores Al! Great meeting you and your wife. Were looking forward to it again next year too.
 
Awesome stuff man!! Glad you guys made it and had a great time. Hope to see you guys next year.
 
I didn't get a chance to meet you, but glad you had a good experience and plan to return next year. I'm a customer who's bought a few of your sheaths. I'll look forward to seeing you next year:thumbup:
 
The pleasure was truly ours!!

This is a great group of people that we are so honored to be associated with! We had so much fun, it's already on the calendar for next year!! (literally)

I don't usually wish for "money" but after attending this show... I sure WISH I had A LOT more!! LOL So many great makers with so many wonderful products.

It will take some time to recall your "names" but If I met you, Thank You!

Vox, we had a blast with you and your son. He is a fine young man.

Rob, we can't wait to meet you as well!

George, sorry we didn't get to meet you formally, but we were on both sides of you during the 80's contest ;) for a moment... You made our first show memorable as you were so much fun for everyone!!


Thank you again to all,
Al & DeAnn
 
It was great to finally meet you guys. Glad you had fun and can't wait for next year.
 
I'd love to see a pic of that butaniku short you snagged. Sounds like it would look pretty sweet.
 
Al, DeAnn
It was a pleasure to meet and hang with both of you.
From the parking lot of FoGo's and though out the show and parties.
Hope we can do it again.
