Very good news AW and thank you for the report. I am going to OKCA today, finally. Got any photos? What knives did you get from Joe? Was 5 hours enough time to do everything? Were there many customers in the aisles? How much $ is enough to bring?
Hi Oregon,
I bet you are at the show right now. I think the best time to go to the OKCA show is opening first day (best selection) what I did. Also, end of Sunday (deals from vendors if they want less items to bring home) what you did? I did not get any photos myself. My wife is the family photo nut.
My son was sick so I did not bring him. I did bring $250 in cash, but I also need nothing as I have many knives.
Many vendors will take credit cards. The education is priceless just spending 5-hours walking the 360 tables/vendors. I could have spent all day, but I had some other work to do also.
I did get a Buck 846 Vantage Force - Avid Tactical Black Folder, 846BKS-B, cat 3640, 3.25" Blade, 4oz, 13C26 Sandvik BOS, USA, made on 1/3/2013 for $50 direct from Joe Houser and wife at the 38th OKCA Annual Knife Show.
I also got a Buck 0941BKS-B Spreader – Slate, PaperStone Handle, 4-7/8” Length, 410HC Steel, made on 3/11/2013 for $21 from Joe Houser and wife at the 38th OKCA Annual Knife Show. Joe said this is the knife that Chuck Buck buys most for his friends. I did not catch Joes wife name, but she was also very nice.
Case knives had a deal on new zodiac signs WR Case knives for $29, but I passed. If it was on something more normal I would have grabbed one. I do collect a few of the WR Case War Series knives.
Did you bring a camera? What did you buy?
