...

 

[Makael]

I'm going to try to go. It's a month away

 

[Makael]

I'm not clear on why Buck isn't on the list. I believe Joe and Chuck went to the Oregon knife show. This is a huge show.

 

[abbydaddy]

I'll be there. It is a couple hours from where I live on my birthday weekend. I gots to go!

 

[eveled]

Doesnt look like KaBar is going either.

 

[David Martin]

Are you sure Buck always procures tables at this show. I recall it as they are hit and miss on this one. It's the Oregon show that Joe Houser
shows up at. Which is a much smaller show. I know the feeling. I wanted to go to the 30 year Buck Reunion bad. Was going then couldn't.
I'm still not over it. But the show went on. Unlike you gents for us it's a 2K mile drive each way. But we are still going to try to
make the 35 yr. DM

 

[jbmonkey]

dont feel bad.....no way could I make it. too far and cant be away from work that long. the Atlanta one is not too far but I never find the time to go.

if ya do go take lots of pics for us please and if buck is there and has new product....make sure to take some pics of that. thank you Sir.

 

[gedlicks]

Buck doesn't do any of these types of shows anymore and Buck is not coming to this one. They have not gone to the Blade Show in Atlanta for the last couple years and neither Buck or Joe has come to the
Oregon show in quite a few years. The Buck Collectors Club does get a couple tables at the Oregon show every year. The Club has become reps for Buck at these shows. Many people come up and ask
questions and talk about the new Buck Knives and such all the time at the show. I have even had many who it was obvious thought we were Buck Knives.

John and I spoke about the Blade West Show and decided I would go just to scope out the show and see how it goes. I know some of the table holders so will find out how sales goes etc.
The tables are quite expensive compared to the Oregon show so we would have to sell quite a bit for it to make since.

I am about 40 minutes from where the show is so I will for sure be there.

Makael - let me know when you will be there and we can meet up as well as anyone else who wants to.

 

[sassafrassdogs]

I guess I was asleep when the news came out. Where and when is the blade show? Pardon my ignorance...

 

[Makael]

First weekend in October. Portland, OR.
I'll go. My wife and son will probably go as well. Ethan Becker from Becker knives will be wandering around and I want to meet him as well as many others.

 

[Makael]

Sass, better get your plane tickets.

 

[bucksway]

As far as I know this is the first for Blade Show west. Didn't some of the Buck family go to this year's Atlanta show?

 

[gedlicks]

They had a Blade Show West about 7 years ago out by the Portland Airport. I do not believe Buck was at that one either.
I heard that they are planning on having one every year from now on. Makes since. There are quite a few knife manufacturers in the Northwest.

 

[sassafrassdogs]

Sass, better get your plane tickets.

I don't know, I've been to Portland before...

 

[Makael]

Look at that list above. Everyone appears to be there. Ethan Becker will be representing Becker and KaBar.
Crazy amount of manufcturers.
