Lol, all that I can tell you about this year's Rendezvous is that I will be in Nashville with my family. I hope everyone has a great time and shares many pictures.

EO Beardlow. Like the EO Beerlow, but with a combo knife/comb blade.

Where'd that come from?

 

[Aaronmccombs]

This will be my first rendezvous. I’m really looking forward to it. I live a little over 5 hours away but I really want to see what this event is all about. Any recommendations for a newbie to get the most out of the weekend?

It seems the Cross Creek Resort is a favorite.

And bring an air mattress.

My funny bone.

 

[Jiki]

My guess is an 87.

After speaking with the oracles of knifedom I have been authorized to inform the members of the Porch that it will be…wait for it…wait for it, a #34.

bring cash, and it depends. rendezvous are not what they used to be. it used to be civilized but over the years its changed quite a bit. last year we had some one sneak in on the line to scalp knives. in my earliest rendezvous, you could sleep in and show up early and still manage alright. unfortunately these days its about the campouts. the other year i had sworn it wasnt worth losing sleep over, but last year i camped out over night for the experience. its a fun evening, but it got cold, into the 50s. Night two I drove in around 4am and it was swamped. It depends on how much you want the knives. Its certainly an experience. The crowds have definitely changed.

I'm going to get my "WTB: Rendezvous Knife 2023" ready

The rendezvous is an event that’s on my bucket list. I’ll make it “one day”. I live close to the beach in South MS. I’m sure I’d pass a lot of members on the drive up to Titusville. Have always had this idea of picking up folks on the way up. Could end up being a great idea or we could end up arguing over the beard comb the whole time, who knows?

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately I’ll be there at 6am at the earliest. I know I’ll probably miss some things due to people camping out. It’ll still be cool to get the rendezvous experience.

 

[Rusty1]

The year before and probably last year too. The camping out started before GEC had closed it doors after work on the Thursday.

I’ve never been to a rendezvous, but with the recent advent of voracious GEC scalpers, I’m kind of turned off by what sounds like the mob “mad dash”

I think it would be amazing if GEC held a rendezvous of sorts where no new Knives were available for purchase - just a gathering of folks - chattin’ and trading among the attendees and GEC employees/enthusiasts. That might turn off the scalpers…
