It was good last year, lots of manufactures who don't come to the Eugene show. Just gotta be prepared to dodge the clusters of teenage Bali-flingers
 
have fun Mike. tell us the tales and get pics of Lynn doing sword demonstrations and yelling at his crew.:)
 
Congrates on that nice Tops knife and Blade show West. Went last year and had a blast, more laid back then Atlanta with more then enough to see and touch. Enjoy Sir and please pictures of all the pretties.

Just got in from Portland.
SMKW had some Bucks knives but i think they could of represented Buck much better. I hope Buck decides to participate next year and use Blade Show West to introduce the next years knives.
Picked up some goodies. Met with James Gedlicks for a bit. Got to hangout with Jason Knight from Forged in Fire, i signed up for one of his Knife making classes.
The guys at Tops were very cool and showed 500 knives. I picked up the Tops Operator knife i won when i pre purchased my tickets.
I was 3rd in line with my wife 2nd in fromt if me. Lee from Buck showed up in 4th. Lee is one of the Buck designers. Lee designed the Buck Sprint line, and the 110 and 112 slims.
I met a young guy who was lost for over a week in the woods. Once he got a little older he started making knives. The big bowie with the green handle is one of his.
Met Brian Tighe and picked up one of his Titanium one piece folders after some haggling. Also met Ed Schempp in the Spyderco Booth. Got a real cool S3V Dawson Knife. The steel has a great Copper patina.
Alot of fun and cant wait for next year.

I don't really come by this sub to much anymore for various reasons but I stopped in to see the SPS and was just getting ready to pm you to see how it went. Guess this answers my questions. :D:D That Tighe is beautiful. Those Vikings from Tops popped up on blade hq last week and I was eyeing them up but my fiance leaned over my shoulder and ran off with my phone cause I just ordered that zt0303 lol. How do you like those?
Oh and I still want that black operator 7 I'll even pay for shipping if UD just mail it already.:p:D:D
