Knife Show Etiquette?

[92degrees]

I attended my first show today (small CT show)-- what a blast! Got to handle lots of great stuff by makers I've drooled over in the mags. -- Centofante, Elishewitz, Carson, and all the production stuff. I attend lots of other types of shows, but the folks in the knife world really are tops -- everyone was so pleasant and helpful.

Question -- is there anywhere I can find a guide to knife show etiquette online? I know not to pick up knives without asking, and I know not to handle the blades, etc., but what else should I know? I noticed some attendees handing knives back to the dealers folded while others left them open. What else?

Thanks, I'm already looking for the next show.

you got to learn by going and making mistakes.

no biggie I have made a few. it isn't the end of the world.

unless you start swinging a handmade katana around and decap a few people.
