We made it around 3 today. I’m hoping to get my hands on a 7forge blade and A LOT of handle material because I can’t help myself..

For those of us who can't make it may I request lots of pictures... So we can at least feel like we were there...

Sitting with a coffee in the Waverly lobby, if anyone wants to stop and say hi. Look for the lone dude in a Hawaiian shirt reading a book.

 

[Hvactech]

And all the cosplay people too!

Come on man they’re operators! lol I’ve only been once, two years ago and I was amazed by some of the grown men that would show up to a crowd of other grown men dressed up like they were. It was definitely an experience

It's funny, I guess that there isn't any knife in the place that I'm going to line up for and then rush to a table to throw money down. If there's a knife I want that bad I'll be talking to the maker at the show and working out a deal to have something built and delivered. That's not true of everyone I guess hence the absurd line. On Saturday I typically time it to show up about 15 minutes after show start, stroll up to the ticket booth, purchase my ticket and wander in no waiting required. For those of you that are standing in the line I hope it all works out and that your patience (impatience?) is rewarded by you finding exactly the item that you wanted.

Might have been talking about the rest of the merry crew too. There's always that person or two that mistakes the Blade Show for a Ren Faire and shows up with elf ears and a tail or whatever. Then there's the Booth Babes who are a sort of cosplay too I guess and then there's always the non-booth babe or three wandering about. Never understood that one, but I guess it's a target rich environment if you are a lonely lady?

Hopefully we can get some pics of new knives coming out. I know there's a couple members, that will be sitting with vendors.

If you're buying a knife or knives, you better get an early bird pass! At least be a fast runner and willing to trip up some people!
