Blade Show ;1999

[miarrow]

I am travelling to Blade Show in Atlanta in June for the first time. Inquiring as to the most convenient form of payment for knife purchases.(credit card, travellers checks, personal checks or cash) Also, will be flying, do most ship knives for you.

 

[Gus Kalanzis]

Many makers do take credit cards and I have not had any trouble with travellers checks.
If you know someone (or two) who are known and can vouch for you most will not have too much of a problem with a personal check especially if they are going to mail you the knife. All those will work at the Blade Show, but I think cash is the best. Hope this is the first of many for you - Enjoy.

Speaking frompast expeirence at the Blade Show, take as much cash as you can manage. Plastic is accepted by many, but cash is accepted by all.

Another reason cash or travelers checks are preferred is that the avoid the 2-3% surcharge the bank cards require.Also,since there is no hard record of the purchase,cash makes it easier to dispense with tax formalities.In short ,paying cash may improve your price. See you in Atlanta!
