Blade show roundup

[bart1]

How about a Blade show review from you forumites who will attend? Including photos of course.I wonder if the Randall collectors still have displays there like the RKSA used to? I used to love showing and talking knives with some of you guys, been a few years since I've been,hope to make it out in a year or 2.Curious as to what the sales trends will be. Bart

I am going, think this year is about year 9 out of the past 10. I will be displaying some Model 5's, which is about all I collect these days. Three of my friends will be displaying as well.
I am a very lousy photographer, so won't promise pics. Prices, IMO, if it is new you can likely get catalog or a bit more. On the other hand, I just bought a pinned Brown Micarta and prices, if you are buying something rarer, from someone in the know, are not soft. Last year I bought a Post WWII 5, off the internet, but the person did not know what they had. Got it at a decent price. Prices are definitely softer than 4-5 years ago.
