Are there any custom leather tool makers represented at the Blade Show?

If so, I'll be looking for a stitching awl/haft.......I think I would get a bigger kick out of that than buying a knife.....but not as big a kick as meeting Sandy and Paul.......but close......:thumbup:
Sandy owes me a beer...and I owe him four.
 
To be honest I have not noticed over the years but, you might find one of the knife supply folks have some.

Sandy and Paul are great folks. Finally got to meet Paul in person last year after knowing Sandy for a decade or two. Spending time with them will be a highlight of Blade for me.

Na just an ugly Greek (me) and trust me when I say you do not want to hear me sing or play any kind of instrument. :D
 
The Mariachi band was last year, This year will be a German Polka band, although at last check they were having some Visa troubles with Homeland Security, so it could be a little "iffy", but Sandy and I will still be there for sure, GOD willing.

This will be my third year and I have never seen any leather tool suppliers represented. Several of the knife makers supply merchants carry the very basic leather tools such as awls and so forth. Texas Knife Makers Supply comes to mind. There will be a couple of leather and exotic skin merchants and Artisan Sewing Supplies will be there this year in booth 28, I think.

I look forward to seeing all of you there.

That was no mariachi band, that was my skinny knees knocking and me cracking my knuckles. Thought I might have embarrassed Paul but he seemed to weather the solo OK. In a few days I will find out if he is still so tolerant!! Gotta admit that that Greek kid (Bastid) has a lot of style!! --Sandy, the ancient one man band-----------

Think Rick is trying to get me snockered, at four to one, I wont last long-----
