Vincent is the gold standard in photographers with an interest in cutlery and other gear. A terrific fellow that I can vouch for.
 
Love to visit Blade one of these days. Put on bucket list today.

Not even one photo from a forum member out of Blade Show 2014? Puzzling, awkward, sad and disappointing. Dressed up in all of this bandwidth and no place to go... Yard work here I come. :(

Go to the BCCI web site, there are few photos. Oregon, next year you need to go and shoot the show for us. I'll start your trip funding with $10.00

Yes, perhaps so at the present. Still, I'm patient and hold confidence on one member posting us some photos. Sit tight. DM

Remain calm some people are not yet back in the space craft, when they exit the airlock they will quickly share photos (forgot the camera cord). To make you jealous I sat alone with Joe Houser an talked for 20 minutes, An sat an talked with AG Russell an Phil Gibbs about early Buck folders and Phils work at Cami in early 300 contract days .Bcci President also talked with Blade Show folks about getting another row of tables so some of you can come display your Bucks also. Still have 35 BG - 42 bladed 301s for sale. Contact BCCL Pres John Foresman in BCCI sticky above for order info, all BF users welcome. Copper 110 really wild looking.....the proto sold for big Bucks..... Signing off

Am I mistaken or has Buck been completely overlooked when it comes to Blade Show awards?
 
Buck did not win.

When I compare the ZT 562CF to the Buck 830 I'll take the Buck (categories: Best Buy AND American Made Knife Of The Year). However, when I compare the ZT 562CF to the Buck Copper 110, well, I am not so certain.

Which Buck knife do you think should have won what category?

How close Buck came to winning I cannot say. Does anyone know 2nd or 3rd place finishers in the applicable categories? Maybe only the judges know...

Let me see if I can be more clear. It seems to me that Buck has gotten very little recognition in general in the industry and Blade Show in particular since Blade Show started.
