RICK HINDERER KNIVES will be attending the Blade Show in Atlanta GA from June 6-8. This is the 25th consecutive Blade Show that Rick has attended, so stop by and shake his hand and mention to him that he might just be a old timer now!

We will have a wide range of knives and pens available, new products, as well as some cool limited edition items to commemorate Rick’s milestone!

We will be holding lotteries for custom knives at the Blade Show on both Friday and Saturday, please stop by our booth both days to fill out your lottery cards.

Our custom knife lotteries will be held at the Sharp Stage area this year.

We will be selling production knives on Friday and Saturday throughout the day using a cell phone text style lottery format. We plan to do 5-6 lotteries each day, somewhere around the top of each hour. Each round will have between 10-15 knives available which will be on display prior to us pulling names. We will send texts to the 10-15 people picked, allow 20 minutes for everyone to assemble at our booth. Then starting with the first person picked in order to the last person you will have your choice of what is available in that group of knives. This will be a separate lottery ticket from our custom lottery, you will fill one ticket out and it will be used for both days, unlike the custom knife lottery at the Sharp Stage, which you will need to fill a card out for each day.

Wish I was going!! Good luck to all and please take and post pics :D

Congrats on 25 years!!!

And p.s. Rick you're an old timer now!! ;)
 
There is no try...so I'm putting a lot of effort into attending.

Good luck to all.

Looking forward to seeing friends again.
 
Quick question...why specifying "custom" knives? Is something noticeably different this year?
 
Sooooo cannot wait till blade!! Will be so much better this year now that I'm not such a newb. All though Rob would probably argue that with all the questions he still gets from me. :D
 
Of course speculate! I will post teaser pics and more info along the way so everyone is tuned in to what we'll have going on!
 
I pre-ordered a Fuzzy Stuffed bobble-head "Rob 0" dashboard doll w/optional velcro mount.

I can't wait!:eek:

But seriously... I am excited. I am guessing Skinners and Eklipses will make an appearance.

Speculate? Ok, since customs have been rare as hen's balls at some of the more recent shows...BS '14 will offer only custom Hinderers in the lotteries. With 50 custom pieces each day. Oops...that's not speculation it's DayDreaming on steroids.
 
I don't know if I'm reading this right or not but are there going to be production knives for sale outside of the lottery *speculating away here*?
 
Very happy that my father and I will be making the trip from Mississippi. Looks like the perfect first show to attend! Very excited about the beginning of June my friends....think I'll take out a second mortgage before we go.

Click to expand...

That's speculation. And custom lottery could simply be in reference to the maker listed as a "custom maker" in terms of Blade Show contributors/vendors.
 
My speculation is: only customs will be available at blade this year. And there will be custom ground 3", 3.5" XM-18s, xm 24s, Eklipses, Flashpoints, FXM's and Fieldtacs. Some of you lucky attendees will get REALLY Lucky:) They will also introduce the Production Eklipse at Blade but not sell any yet--would that be considered a new product?

There will only be customs because they are going to do forum lotteries for production 3" and 3.5" (including the 3" wharnie) XM's. This will be for all of us not-quite-lucky-enough-to-go-to-Blade herd members. There will also be new beads and textured Ti Scales available for all on the site:)

Rob, am I close? ;)


ETA: I was typing when you said kinda the same thing N2K:)
 
Even if all they brought to Blade was textured Ti scales I'd still be motivated to attend.:cool:

And if a FXM Skinner or Dagger is present...hold me back!!!!
