Lone Star Knife Expo, Dallas, April 9/10

[Jason Fry]

For those who are interested, there's a solid knife show coming up in a couple of weeks. The show is April 9/10 at Market Hall in Dallas, Tx. We are up to about 70 makers with tables. There will be two days worth of Bladesports competition. We'll have some serious makers there, like Bill Ruple, Johnny Stout, Jerry Moen, and Loyd McConnell. Hope to see some of you there. If you're on this board and going as a table holder, post up some pics of what you're bringing.

Here is an in progress shot of one I will have available, an integral keyhole in VG10 stainless.

 

[Storm Crow]

That thing is looking darn sweet! What are you planning for handle material?

 

[Jason Fry]

I had African Blackwood planned. During the fitting process, one of the "tangs" broke off. Epic failure, 12 hours labor down the drain. No keyhole integral for this year. There's still tables available if you can come up, James.

 

[Storm Crow]

Well, poo! Love the blade profile; any chance of drawing out the integral bolster into a hidden tang? Not enough time before the show, probably, but in general?

Thanks for the invite, but it seems like two shows a year works best for me. I have two tables at the Blade Show this year and need to get inventory to fill them.

 

[Jason Fry]

Can't forge that one out to fix it... VG10 stainless. I have an idea to salvage it.

Let's get this thread back on track. Here's one from Gary Langley.

There should be Kevin, I missed last years show due to scheduling, but am hoping for a good turnout this year. Lots of newer makers, and new knives.

Looking forward to the CKCA banquet in June.
