Customs @ Blade West

[RVO3VOM]

Here's a couple of pics that I took around Noon.

The horn/ironwood RW sold just after I took these pics.

It was fun to meet the Rats/Hogs that were there right away. 360joules and randucci were at the table and I also met RocJok, ScalesandTails & Okuden; I know I forgot one or two others. I was only able to stay for 2 hours since I didn't want to bore my brother and mom.

Oh yeah, I got the G-10/Tan Canvas SAR. :thumbup:

I got to meet RVO3VOM and RokJok. Nice guys.

I was suprised that the horn/ironwood RW lasted as long as it did. It was a beauty.

RokJok scored one of my favorites at the table.

Hey SAK -- I knew I was forgetting someone. It was nice to meet you a chat while waiting to enter the show.
Did you score any SR-101?

Now that didn't take long for pics to sneak onto the forums.

It was great to get a chance to meet and hang out with you guys!

This has been a great show so far and there have been lots of Rats and Hogs circling the tasty cheese. ...and once that Horn/Ironwood Ratweiler sold I had another person approach the table ready to buy it! I could have sold five of those Dog Skinner customs. And don't get me started on the SAR Rats.

Feet tired. Hungry.

Looks like the guys coming to the show Saturday missed out. Awesome looking blades.

I'll be sure to pass on to the Hogs that if they invite your mom to the shows you won't hang around long. I'm sure they would even take her out to dinner after the show just to keep you and you're paws away from the trough.
NO REGRETS

You know, once he picked up that Custom SAR he never set it down, and he kept looking over his shoulder. Did you notice that he wrote his name on the "sold" tag too?

You know what they say...

I have to run off to share more cheese, but here's a quick pic before I go...

I can't believe that those bottom two haven't sold yet. Practically giving them away.

Thanks for posting pics of the hardware I'm missing out on. In Tucson for pleasure and business and couldn't make it to the show.

 

[RVO3VOM]

Sorry you missed it Hogwrlover. Sure was some tasty cheese.

i didnt even see that at first! thats hilarious!

After the Chicago show I decided not to take any chances. I left the SAR on the table while I walked around and wanted to make sure it was there when I got back. I mean, Porkducci was standing right there........

 

[JK Knives]

Drew - glad to see that you learned a lesson in Chicago - IF YOU WANT IT, DON`T PUT IT DOWN!!!

John (Trough Stomper)

Just kidding, it`s ok to set it down. Nice snag on the SAR.

Sorry for a late addition here, but I managaed to show up Friday before the customs disappeared ... RVO3VOM, I met you while I was talking with Randucci, and ROKJOK was there...

Managed to snag my first SKW... a Ratweiler, with label... A nice addition to my tactical bowie line!

It was great to see and meet a different part of the knife collecting community... y'all had a great booth and great communication with those on the other side of the table!

Joe,

Great to hear from you!

Blade West was a great time! I'm anxious to see that show grow as people become accustomed to its new location.

So...I have to ask...Have you used it? Got pics of it in its natural environment? Rat Porn?

Again, good to hear from you. I hope you stick around...after all, you're a Rat now. :thumbup:

Ummm.... do a couple of slices in the futon cover I have on the couch count????

And no pics, er porn... yet, and since I live in a little one bedroom apt. in greater Seattle... I might have to wait till the spring at this rate! LOL!!

Thanks for the greeting and I did enjoy myself immensely at the new show. For me, the location is terriffic as in way easy to get to. And, it's close enough to a lot of the makers and manufacturers that I deal with... So for me, I'll definitely be back next year, only I'll be sure to make it for the weekend instead of a quick road trip down and back...
