Finally, someone capable of spelling Cord de Lane correctly! Well done.
 
It was nice this evening meeting Stumps and Oregon on the cruise. Also had a talk with Haebbie. Good times for all.
 
It is great to meet you here, guys!! And I take some parts of America with me back home. Oregon knows what I mean :) :) :) .

That is quite a haul of UFOs!

i have a video of this but my photo software is locking up on me but here is a still from last nite's lake cruise. Lovely Marilee Houser & her talented group entertained us with harmonious singing & melodious roasting of our favorite folk.

All the knives great people and the scenery looks like a great time keep the pictures coming .

Stumps the look on your face says it all when your in the big mans chair " Oh to be king even for a moment " .
 
Man, I'm glad you guys are having a good time and boy do I wish I was there!!!!!
 
All BCCI members must, bucket list this event, pilgrimage to this. Must. Awesome place for me to find myself. It was beyond my imagination that I would be so very happy being here among such stellar people in cutlery paradise. WOW! It can be emotional so brace yourself to be overwhelmed. I have been & I thought that I could take a lot but I am beyond that today. Many thanks to those involved. Many thanks.

I scored a few BCCI Buildouts:

I was given a beautiful 916 BO with jogged buffalo horn handle by Stumps. Photo to follow. His lottery won but he knew I wanted to have one, my lotto lost, so he gave me his. I really don't have words. I am not crying there is something in my eye... It will work thru me & I will have to live with this act of kindness. However, I did get the tip @ breakfast! :)

Wild Bill was kind enough, just like everyone else here who take kindness as a way of life, to pose alongside his re-creation of the Hoyt Buck scimitar ( handle material is Masonite from Home Depot):

Tonight's swap meet @ the hotel winds up the show.

Leroy & Jerad will have the goods available as will a host of members, employees and enthusiasts. I still enough gas money to get home but for how much longer...

CJ has been carrying a prototype flipper with bearings on the pivot. A collaboration with Gavin Hawk. Continuous loop lock sounds interesting. Watch for it @ the 2014 Shot Show. I am looking forward to this.

Inside scoop on CJ Buck: Unlike regular folk that surround their homes with a fence he, instead, surrounds his home with moose. If you don't believe me just ask to see his cell pics of moose surrounding his home. The blueberry bushes might just grow back next year.

Splissors. That is correct. You heard me right. Splissors. Hint, I like the prototype.

Then lunch @ the Buck's home tomorrow. I will endeavor to stay clam & take a few photos.

Thank you for your attention.

Another great day at Buck with friends!! I have had plans to be here for over 1 1/2 years and am glad I did.

I had a feeling it was going to be a great event. It has surpassed my expectations.

Here are a few pics from the front of the Buck factory here in Post Falls, ID.

Tonight is the knife swap. I'm resting up for the start of that which starts in about an hour. :)
 
What a great event. So nice to meet everyone and share smiles, stories and knives! Lots of knowledge sharing as well. Kudos to those who took the time to prepare seminars! Thank you to those posting photos keeping all updated as this wonderful wvent carries on.
I missed CJ's, however was fortunate to have a private tour of The Factory. I of course spent a little extra time in the 110 Cells. :)
As Stumps said, it has surpassed my expectations as well!!
 
I know it's a sin but I can't help it. I envy you guys. I'm one (1) state east of Idaho and can't be there. So close yet so far. Oh well, the oil must flow. Ya'll keep the good times rolling and the pictures coming. As one earlier post said: "I'm living vicariously." :)
 
Thank you for looking. BTW, a special buildout group of knives will vend via tickets tomorrow morning. Ones I haven't seen yet I believe. Back to the company store @ 7:30.

Tonight's action:
