De Lisch Custom Knife Show!

[Lorien]

I went to Dave Lisch's custom knife show near Yelm, WA over the weekend and it was incredible!

So many outstanding knives, beautiful venue, well attended, people bought a lot of knives and just an inspiring vibe- so much love and camaraderie. It really reminded me a lot of the show in Seattle around 10 years ago.

Sounds like they'll be doing it again next year- I can't wait!

This is just before the exhibitors started to arrive, and that's Andrea Lisch up front. Real nice venue!

There was an amazing family vibe, too. This is Will Stelter and micro Maumasi

My 'campsite', with one of Dave's trikes which actually rides really well

I left the show with a billet of Salem Straub's rando damascus. I think it'll turn into a handful of folding knives some time down the road

I'm sorry I didn't take more pictures, but if you're on Instagram there's much to be seen. If you have any photos, PLEASE post them here!

Thanks for the review. Sorry I wasn't able to make it out.

I was hoping to see you there, John. Maybe next year?

I hope so.

I had an unexpected family issue pop up a month out and had to cancel.

Turns out, I was sicker than a dog all day Friday and Saturday anyhow. Maybe all for the best.

But I'd definitely go next year. Looks like an awesome show.
