Thanks Dan Im in. I didn't go because airfair from BC was over $1000.00 to get there. Man did I ever want to be there though. Maybe next year. :)
 
I'm out of the country, and couldn't make it to Blade! As your finishing up a knife for me, I'm going to pass on this great chance. Thanks for the great opportunity. Whoever gets this baby, let us know how it works out.
 
I missed it because I don't get enough time off of work to go on a family vacation and Blade... and family vacation seems to win every year.

Thanks for the chance Dan, very generous of you.
 
did not attend, no open travel time in my work schedule
great offer, scoped those beauties for sale last night.
if not here with this give away then in some future trade/purchase.
feeling luck and need a nessie.
 
I missed the show, my excuse isn't all that great, I have a new son and The Wife would kill me if I tried to take a trip anytime soon.
 
I didn't get to go. I had planned on making my first pilgrimage AND bringing my significant other who has become a neophyte Knife Knut (I'm a lucky, lucky man). Unfortunately, I left it too late and wasn't able to come up with the scratch for a roadtrip. :(

Thanks for this great opportunity Dan.
 
I was all excited about the Blade Show this year. For the first time, I was actually fairly close to Atlanta and just knew I'd be able to make it. I'm currently stationed at Camp Shelby, Ms. as an "OC/T" (I help train deploying soldiers). We'll as luck would have it.....I was scheduled to report for BNCOC (for non-mil personnel, this is a professional development course) on 30, May. I quickly got the class rescheduled for June so that I would be able to attend the show even though it isthe same weekend as my wedding anniversary.

I was all excited, had already made contact with friends who would be attending and was laying my plan out when the wife said..........."I spent Valentine's Day at the knife show in Little Rock, I'm not spending our anniversary at a knife show too".

As luck would have it, she changed her mind at the last minute and told me we could go since my BNCOC was rescheduled again for July 10-25. Unfortunately, I ended up on the training lanes this weekend training soldiers. To top everything off, my BNCOC report date is 10 July (my birthday). The Spirit of Steel show is the same weekend. My graduation Day is 25, July....the first day of the A.G. Russell show.

So, as one might imagine, I'm a bit frustrated now!!! Not only did I miss the Blade Show, but now I'm also missing the Spirit of Steel and A.G. Russell shows as well. It's been a bad weekend for me. But hey, my wife liked her new pistol I bought her for our anniversary and i got all of my tools needed to start making my own Kydex sheaths.

Thanks for the chance Dan. My reason...

1. Still recovering from the injuries suffered when I rescued the nuns and orphans from the burning, school bus on my way home from reading aloud for the blind kids. I didn't make it to the soup kitchen to cook for the homeless that day.




2. Laid off in Dec. Broke. The paycheck from Home Depot ain't quite as good as my IT job was.
 
I was unable to attend Blade because: 1) Work, 2) work, 3) work, and last but not least, 4) work.
 
Missed it because almost all the free time I used to have is now being consumed by my 7 month old daughter. And I would miss all the blade shows for her! But I hope that doesn't happen and I'll get to go next year. BTW, that is a beauty you're giving away!
 
Could not take leave twice in a 4 month period, and I'm headed back to KY in July so that trumped the show.
Thanks for the opportunity Dan.
 
I'm not gonna even try to come up with a good excuse, Well other than I didn't want to have to mortgage the house to pay for the stuff I JUST had to have if I had went.!, but I'm saving for next year:) Thanks for the chance!!!
