Let me tell you all that I am still exhausted from all of the fun at the Blade Show. First of all Thursday night in Tony's room was a blast. I met several new faces (most of them that I know from the Blade Fourms).....Jerry (JB in SC) is a great guy, it was a true pleasure to have met him. I had the pleasure of meeting Mike Z, Lanny Shell (famous for the Lanny's Clip), Elliot, Gus, Bill Snearly (raydbonz), Brent (bladesandgrace) and so many more that I can't even remember. I also talked with some familiar faces....Kerry, Reese, Randy, Campbell (C_CRAZY should be his name

), Mike Robuck (my sides and cheeks are still hurting from laughing so hard), Lee Grogan & John Hanlon (two of the sweetest guys I have met in a long time) and last but not least Tony. It is always a great pleasure to talk with Tony. I could listen to his stories for hours. I actually found myself sitting next to Tony, listening to him talk to all of guys at the CE & CF session. It was just a blast.
Friday at the show there was just so much going on. We walked around checking out all of the knives. Tony's table was very busy as usual. Everyone was excited waiting for the big drawing. This year they held the drawing in a separate room so there was enough space, and that turned out to be way too small. This room was the size of a hotel room and we wound up spilling out into the hall. The security came by and started moving people along....something to do with the fire code??

Needless to say it was exciting. Cookie was the only Bose Ho's that I know of, taking a Bose knife home from the drawing.
Thank you to all of the kind folks that made this year so much fun. The Blade Show and Bladeforums would not be the same without you all! There were several of you Bose Ho's that I missed this year. Hopefully we will all get to meet again next year!!
