What would it be and from what maker (Bose knives don't count in this thread because that's a given). Mine would be some type of whittler from Ryu with some of that rockin stag he finds.
 
I really don't think there is any way I could only choose just one knife out of all the talent thats going to be there..
 
That's a tough one , I had the option of either going to Blade or getting a custom.
I chose the custom , have a Ken Erickson due in within a week or so.

I am perfectly happy with my choice. :)
 
i'm sure that Erickson is a great knife and will more than make up for not going to blade. Guess I'll rephrase my question...is there any particular knife that you are going to blade to find?
 
A Kerry Hampton would be a great score,I'll be looking at John Howser's knives,and Wayne Hendrix.
I'm going more for the "Blade experiecne" rather than to purchase,but the Bose drawing is the main event for me.

I'm with you on both of those makers. :thumbup: I'm going to drop by Steve Dunn's table and hopefully handle some Shadley knives for the first time.
 
If I could get any knife I want at the Blade Show. I would like to find a Left Hand Mayo. Had one on order for the show but Tom's injury will delay delivery.
Put me down for the only person not looking for a Bose. Larry
 
I would look for a nice muskrat at Ryuichi Kawamura's table ;):cool:


Chris D. :D
 
Impossible for me to say. So many great makers. Just depends on the particular knife that is available and whispers urgently in my ear take me home!
 
I have a couple of early Don Hanson (Sunfish Forge) knives. I'd love to have one of his new knives for contrast, a large Bowie pattern like those seen here:

Beautiful lines, exotic and rare materials, and incredible Damascus patterns...

Maybe if Blade '09 is held in Northern New Mexico and I start saving now... :D
 
I would seek out a traditional Chute Knife similar to the one offered by Gilbert H. Norfleet.
 
I ain't goin' this year and really have no definite plans to ever attend, but if I was, a Shadley Stockman would be near the top of my list.
 
Anything by Richard Rogers or Joel Chamblin or Bill Ruple or Ron Newton, or Vince Evans or Tim Hancock or Kit Carson or Gene Shadley, or Ray Kirk or Jerry Fisk or Mike Crowell or Don Hansen or Bailey Bradshaw or Walter Brend or Christof Deringer, or Harvey Dean or Larry Fuegen or Steve Dunn or Ed Fowler or R.J. Martin or John Parks or Mike Ruth or Matt Roberts or John Young or Ken Steigerwalt or Michael Vagnino or Steven Rapp or Dellana or Van Barnett or Dan Burke or ...

:D.

One knife at Blade ... that is almost herecy!:eek:
