Nice pics everyone. I scored two of the Satin/Pumkin GWs and a Custom Shop ASH1(satin, recurve, blue g10). The ASH1 is oh so sweet...

So who bought the top BATAC custom shown in this picture (third one down):

It has a handle very similar to the one on my Custom ZTSH. I may have to grind my 4A to match....

I made it on a Friday. It was great meeting some of the other forum members. Sorry I missed you guys on Sat and Sun. I was off on a training mission the rest of the weekend.

I got one pic before having to deal with my daughter and never got around to getting anymore.

Picked up my new sheath for my BATAC.

I know it is not a Busse but I picked up a pair of Rat Shakers. One went straight to Brian at Okuden. If anybody else needs a necker sheath put in your order.

I friend of mine bought this and put it to good use this weekend.

We found this out in the woods also. One of the infamous INFI trees.

 

[offsetlover]

Yep, those be the prices.

thanks mikeymoto. i was wondering so i know how much i need to save up in order to get a busse

 

[Rescue Mike]

I didn't get to take too many photos when I arrived, as I was carrying my daughter around.. Just Skunks little bottle of GlenLivet..

I got plenty of photos of the evenings festivities at the Steak House. Heres a look down the table... I am going to try to remember names.. I was trying to keep up with Skunk on the drinks.. (I think I'm still drunk.) So if I get it wrong, SORRY!

On the left side is Randucci, on the right side of the table is Josh (?), RokJok, Mtnman??, James 61, and across the table from James is Brian from Okuden (Oku).

A shot of James and James.. James61 and Mtnman

360joules having a good time!

Skunk found some new "Skunk Junk".

Vicky passed out.. Not really. What is she laughing about?? Skunk invented a new dance!!

Skunk practicing his "New Dance".. What is it? What could it be??

IT'S THE SCRAPYARD SCOOT!!!

Here is a shot of the Pumpkin Warden I bought the wife, along with the new Okuden sheath. Brian just happened to have a sheath that fit it! Wife loves the new blade!

Thanks everybody! I had a great time, it was great meeting you all! Let's not wait til next year before we get together again!

 

[Ken44]

Thanks for the pics! Looks like you had a great time.

Look foward to more.

Looks pretty calm(at the booth) compared to Blade. That had to be nice.

 

[BruceWayne]

It was great to meet eveybody and put faces with names.

Lots of fun at dinner on Saturday--I was really not as compromised as I looked after drinking that shake

Couple pictures:

My small haul

The 'wild dog'

I was able to sneak up to Portland for a few hours on Saturday. The show was not crowded on Saturday morning. Alas, being late to the show means that the pumpkin ASHs were long gone. I was severly tempted by a custom SFNO variant but managed to resist so my marriage should stay intact awhile longer.

It was truly a pleasure to hang out with the many Hogs, Piglets, Rats and Dogs I met. I really look forward to Blade. I have to find a way to go.

Now for the pictures.

Here Grinducci is showing Eric (GrandSuave?) how long the original blade really was on that "game warden" he ground. Skunk is working off his hangover with the ever valuable caffeine infusion.


Troy (360 Joules) is guarding the Rats and Dogs.


Here's a never before seen photo of 360Joules' steel children. Note recently adopted child in center


A mid show "action" shot with Mikeymoto? on the left, Vicki on the phone, Winston Smith at the Rat&Dog table and Mymindisamob in the far background.


Winston Smith and son with Rokjok.


I think GrandSuave dropped a donut here. KellyGlancer on the far left and I'm pretty sure I cut Mymindisamob off on the left.


A closeup of the star of the show...she is a beaut.


And I found my perfect Meaner...I love this knife:


It was fantastic for this piglet to meet so many fellow Hogs, Dogs, and Rats. Thanks again for your company! Next time I'll stay for dinner. :thumbup:

 

[Bill Siegle]

Had a great time meeting everyone there! Even scored a little sothing for my self Had to choose between the pumpkin ASH1 and this one. If the wife hadn't been with I might have taken em both

 

[offsetlover]

pardon my ignorance, but how much do those meaner's run for? they are awsome looking knives
