Marcel I took these yesterday but don't have the blade. If I get a chance I will take one.

I know Michael Rader made MAstersmith and also won the Mastersmith award - for a truly spectacular dagger.

I think Bill Buxton made MS as well, not sure of any others
 
oops! Nevermind- don't know how I missed a page...
: ) thanks all, for the great photos!

This was my first BLADE show, and it was tremendous. I scored a beautiful stag and damascus lockback trapper from John Howser, and put down a deposit with David Lisch for a feather damascus stag fighter, to be ready in the fall. I also got on John White's list for 2012 (wow, that's a long time off!)

Altogether a great experience, meeting many nice people who happen to make fantastic knives. Here are some photos.

The room (well, only about 1/3 of it!)

I hope everyone gets a chance to attend the BLADE show at least once. It was truly an unforgetable experience.

I'm not sure. To be honest, I missed that entirely, myself. This photo was taken about 4:30 pm on Saturday, and I was a little out of it by then! :confused:
