February 19-20 Gun Show. David Martin Buck Knives Exhibition Table.About 5000 people attended.David did a great job explaining the history of Buck Knives,the evolution of Buck Knives plus proper care,maintenance and sharpening tips.:thumbup:
 
There was much interest by both young and old and in between.Many people brought their Buck knives to David for information about their knife.David had many Buck info hand-outs and stickers.Fun was had by all!

 
David did a great job answering questions and showing the proper way to sharpen a Buck Knife.

Great pictures Tom! I wish I could have been there with you guys, and I'm glad that you two finally got together. Looks like fun.

Great looking display David.
 
It was a great event and I'll have David weigh in on the rest of the photos I post.

I sure wish you were there too Dave!There was a lot of interest in my yellow 301.One fella tried to trade me for it.:eek:LOL,NO WAY JOSE!:)David gave out the Buck web site over a hundred times.:cool::thumbup:
 
After searching flea markets and more pawn shops than I can count the last year trying to find an old 110 with no sucess,David spotted one at a table for me that I got a real good deal on.I finally scored! Thank you David.:D
 
Thanks guys for your kind comments . A special thanks to Skyhorse as it did get really hopping and one person could not handle the interest and traffic of patrons which he greatly helped in that area . This show held near 300 tables and I think Tom's figure is correct on attendees . This show was carried on the front page of the Las Cruces Sun News as the event to attend . I could not get a lunch break or restroom stop without Tom's help . By the end of each day we were beat from being on our feet in need of down time . This show is a Fall and Spring show a great one to get your feet wet at whether displaying or answering questions there's lots of interest in Buck knives and fellowship among members here in SW New Mexico . Even some guys who traffic this forum came by to say hi whom I had never met so, you never know what will turn up .
There was so much to see and many old Buck knives to find that Tom & I barely had time to look . But he managed to find a 110 three line (no dots) for 20$ . It needs a spa treatment but has a full blade . I'm signed up for Oct. and we'd love to see you there . DM
 
The photo of three guys behind my table are all members . L-R are Tom Smith, me and Hugh Riddle . Hugh had a table of firearms from the 1800's . He's a quite guy but also has a outstanding collection of Buck knives, of the entire 100 series all one liners, a Schrade mfg. 301 and a one line 110 . Housed in the early Buck display counter boxes . Quite striking ! DM
 
Just kinda of a funny side note.Lot's of people wanted to buy Davids display knives.:eek::)
 
David,
Thanks for representing the BCCI so well!! The pictures are great. We will be looking for a detailed report to print in the club newsletter. Saturday, John and I were just discussing an idea to assist you and a couple other club members with your appearances at future shows. We plan to discuss it at the Atlanta board meeting and I am confident it will be approved.

Terrific display. What fun for attendees.

Examples of vintage Bucks in great display format accompanied by knowledgeable individuals equal a rare treat. Wish I had been there. Way to go David.

Pic #5: Is that a binder clip on the back of the blade in your sharpening stone demo? I cannot perform office work without such clips so I by them by the box full. However, I've never used them while sharpening a knife.
 
GREAT looking display David! I'm sure it was the envy of MANY Buck lovers!

Brings back memories of when I could go to the local sporting goods store and look at their display like yours, saving to get a 110! I remember the Kalinga was my "holy grail" back then, but it was FAR more than I had to spend.
