Blade Show 2002 Awards??

[EdwardB]

Anyone stay long enough to get the awards list from the Show? I was there all day Friday and only a couple of hours on Saturday before I had to leave to go back to work that night in AL.

If anyone wrote down the award winners, I'm sure all would appreciate hearing about them too.

Thanx,
Ed

I'd be amazed if Mick Strider's Badlands knife didn't win best fighter. That is, if he entered it.

I know that Dan Farr got the award for best new maker, and it was justly deserved. His stuff was very nice, and he is doing finish work on his handles that nobody else is doing.

 

[Mike Turber]

Culled from memory. If any are wrong I am sorry

Manufacturing Quality - Tiknives
Investor/Collector - Warren Henry won in two categories. Can't remember the other.
Collaboration of the Year - Fisk/Camillus OVB
Kershaw/Ken Onion LEEK won I think in best buy or most innovative

Sorry guys I forgot to bring a pen this year to the awards dinner.
