I thought I had pics of the Swamp Rat/Scrapyard Table but I guess not. Sorry about that.

There were lots of combat grade knives present. I hope this is only a taste of what the future will bring us West Coast Hogs. Thank you Jerry and Crew.

I also walked around and checked out the other booths. Some notable ones were Spartan Blades and Chris Reeves. Talked to Anne Reeves for about 5 to 10 minutes. She was very friendly and a real joy to talk to. I have always been impressed by their knives but after talking to Anne Reeeves my esteem for the Reeves and their knives went up.

Afterwards a bunch of us went out for dinner and drinks and then stood around and BSed till late. As always it was a good time and it was neat to meet Garth and Waz.



If any one else would like to post pics, comments, and/or stories please feel free to do so.
 
Thanks for the pics. I also enjoyed meeting the Busse crew and talking to Anne Reeve, Bill Harsey, Brian Wagner and Bill Siegle. This was my first experience at a Blade Show and it's one I hope to repeat next year.
 
You have to wonder if Jerry just has a big pile of already-cut FBM blanks at the shop. It's been 2 years since that model went deep-six and there are STILL tons of variants on the tables at these shows.

I love it!
 
Not very good pics and not many either. (From me)

All in all, I had a good time. Especially seeing a lot of folks I met 2 years ago and some new ones. I handled more INFI today than ever before. Mikeymotos Killa Zilla has me almost convinced I could like khuks. Randucci showed me some pretty cool stuff and Rokjok had show and tell too. Sorry I didn't get more pics of people, but their were others taking alot of pictures. So hopefully we will see them.
 
Looks great! I'm looking forward to the next Indy 1500 to buy my first Busse knife.

Crazier still, someone picked up a brand new SHSJ CG at the show. In fact, I think it was the first knife sold on Friday morning. Where on earth did THAT little slice of heaven come from?
 
Just wanted to add that it was nice meeting Snakedoc (or Satin Jack Bastid, my new pet name for him;):D) too.:thumbup:
 
Is that a bama clay NMSFNO I see? I hope someone snagged that - bama clay is the bestest Busse color EVAR!!!!!oneoneone
 
Thanks for the pix guys! Man, I love Busse knives! Oku had some cool blades on his table! :thumbup:
 
Am I drunk...:confused: (yeah... prolly) :o... or are those CG M9's on the SR table???
