Always assuming something doesn'r break that weekend (24/7 tech support makes my life pretty tenative) --I plan to again attend the Badger Knifeclub Show in Janesville at the Holiday Inn Express/Janesville Conference Center. $5 at the door -worth every penny. I figure attending this show saves me at least a couple of hundred bucks each year simply because I'll handle at least a couple of knives that interest me and decide they don't fit my hands and pass on 'em.(This is of course simpy a rationalization-since I always end up buyin a couple of knives that were under my radar before they got into my hands
