Blade Show 2014

[justinbranham]

Hey y'all, Im going to Blade this year in Atlanta, and I have a few questions for the veterans.
Im planning on taking some spending money in hopes of picking up a Strider or Hinderer xm-24, and maybe a busse and a busse-kin.
My question is, do exhibitors setup and sell what they brought, or are they set up and taking orders
for later delivery? Sorry if this has been answered before, I just couldn't find an answer anywhere. Thanks in advance, hope to meet some fellow members in June.

Well for a lot of the vendors, like busse and hinderer they have drawings to have the opportunity to buy at the store. Not sure about strider. But in other words there are more people wanting to buy from busse and hinderer than they have knives to sell them. So a lot of luck is involved

Around 90 percent of the show when I went last year was booths/tables with stuff for sale, most companies have display cases with their current line up with nothing for sale, the Strider and Busse booth both had things for sale. Just FYI, Busse raffles off their knives, they hold up a knife, say the price, and throw a card out into the rather large group of Busse fans, catch the card you get to buy a knife...there was a guy with a security uniform standing just outside of the group, I asked and he said he was there to make sure no one got caught up that wasn't trying to buy a knife haha, the infi hogs are no joke.

You shouldn't have any problem getting a strider or Busse, I didn't see to many Hinderers for sale, but I wasn't looking. He does a raffle each day though.

Hope that helped...I'll be there this year.
