Leaving for Reno this afternoon.....the city of Reno DOES suck....but am not happy about the show leaving there.....am about 90% sure that San Antonio in August is not going to work out for me.
Hope to pick up a piece from Burt Foster and Harvey Dean....and look at some Hancock knives, as well as some Fuegen knives....there is usually something surprising, and lovely to see....prices are looking to be robust this year.
I love the ABS...what it has done, and what it COULD do...some of the policies seem so wrongheaded and slow to adapt to change, though, that it drives me spittin' mad. Dinosaurs are extinct for a reason.....they could not adapt.
Will be able to visit with friends, some only seen once a year, or so, and that makes it a great show.....because I have a few knives
, and have been actively collecting so long, it makes it harder to get pumped up about simply great execution, great design and clean lines....at this point...there has to be something "extra". It makes it more difficult to explain what I am looking for, when a maker asks.
See some of you there, and will have an after-show writeup by next Tuesday.
Best Regards,
STeven Garsson
