I was there last year and there is alot of talent in that room. Its great to see, in person, the knives and makers that i have been reading for the last couple of years. The table is pricey for a 2 day show but it was a great show. I hope to see you there.
 
I'll be there, hopefully with a few knives for my table.

Adam- hopefully we can get together for that beer at this show.

Back to the grinder!

It was a great show last year and should be even better this year. This show has the potential of being the best custom knife show in the country. If any of you make it there, please stop by my table for a visit.

I have been planning on going and I still am, although some recent circumstances in my life may make it not happen. If I do end up going I will not have any $$$ to spend, but I want to check it out and see some faces. We'll see!
 
I'm lucky to have Ed Wormser give me an opportunity to be the staff photographer. Since it has reduced to only two days, I am going to try to setup on Thursday eve in the 'coat closet' studio I was at last year. If not, I will set up in my room at the hotel.

I look forward to meeting EVERYONE who is a BF member. Please say hi! :thumbup:

Couldnt get a table this year but have to hope for next year. I have to collect a few steak dinners from up in that area. :D Dont have the knives to take and kinda glad. Would of had to work hard. Need the time to finish the collage courses and learn slipjoints and lockbacks. :D :barf:
 
Are you friggin kiddin me? It's a great knife show, and it's only 300 miles away from my house! Of course, I'll be there! :)

Won't have any money, but I'll still be there.
 
Greetings All
I'll have a table! How can I not be there, It's right in my backyard. Stop by and see me. I'll be the only 1700's woodsman in the room. If anyone is interested, I've got a friend with a great little bar about a half hour away that is going to be open to makers on Fri. night. I know some are already talking about heading over there.

Can I go too?

Im looking forward to seeing you Robert. We have some issues to discuss.:D
 
Not going, but wish I were. I just saw the list of makers in Blade -- the "Adam Michael Knives" really has its advantages, it was the first on the list. :thumbup: :D
 
Hey Mike
You are more than welcome to come along. It should be a grand old time. The owner is a collector. This is the only bar I know where, if you pull a knife, it's because everyone wants to see it and you're expected to pass it around.
Maybe on the ride we can discuss your "issues."
See you soon

Hey, Bob. Tell your friend with the bar that he looks like one of the guys from Three Dog Night. ;) :)

Danbo, you just told him yourself! He watches this forum all the time.

:D

I know; I met him in Janesville and told him the same thing then. He laughed, but he really does look like him, doesn't he? :)
 
I went last year, was my first knife show ever. I was awestruck and kinda speechless. This year you probably won't be able to shut me up :D

Bob, Ill see you there we'll talk more about the 24th :thumbup: . Don't think I'll have time to make it to the bar afterward even though it would be a darn good time.

Looking forward to seeing everyones work, but unfortunately probably only going to have enough $$$ for a few supplies and gas :eek:

I dont know if you remember but you and I had a nice talk in the parking lot after the show last year.( I cant remember if it was the Chicago show or the Badger Knife show) I am looking forward to discussing knives with you again. Please stop by and say hello.
