I made it over to the show this morning and was happy to see it was larger than the previous year, again. There were more handmade knives being offered by makers which is good to see, I just don’t know how strong the market is in this area for them so I hope those guys do well. Lots of nice looking slipjoints for sale and a ton of great examples of early stuff from Ka-Bar which I don’t remember seeing last year. Lots of Western fixed blades too scattered around. Sorry I don’t have pics, I kept my phone in my pocket the whole time, I just wanted to browse.
I ended up purchasing a kitchen knife from Bob Appleby with a spalted oak handle, a red bone Case Canoe and a small ball-peen hammer, all in all I can’t wait for next year.
