Aaaahhhh. I'm sitting at my computer, surrounded by my new purchases.
The Badger Show was great! I missed fellow forumite Brian Turner, but visited makers who made stuff for me in the past (Dale Reif, Les Voorhies) and met some new folks (Chuck Hawes, John & Sherry Greco).
My wife held the checkbook.
Nevertheless, I purchased a Chuck Hawes damascus drop point in stag, and a Greco Companion Mk II. The Hawes blade is absolutely beautiful (I'll get some pics up as soon as I can) and Chuck is very friendly and knowledgeable. The Greco's were very nice too, and the blade they sold me is HUGE (7" blade, 1/4" thick).
Dale Reif's folders were out of this world. Even the pics that Jackyl put up don't do them justice. I sighed and put them back.
There was just too much to take in. I'd love to go down again tomorrow, but can't. Hope everyone else there had as much fun as I did.
