More ATC at the Blade Show 2001

[MTF3]

Finally I am able to sit down and post a few photos from the Blade Show 2001. The American Tomahawk table was a happening place.

SSG Justin Gingrich and his lovely wife Jennifer. Talking to Ranger Gingrich made you proud to be an American. (Jennifer stated she out-ranked him)

Former Navy Seal Chris Caracci was on hand to discuss hawks and self-defense. He even cleaned the blood of the presentation Lagana Vietnam Hawk after use. What a guy!

Andy, Kenny Rowe, and fellow Forumite PhilL got a chance to visit.

Andy and Primo Leatherman Kenny Rowe discuss leather. The Rowe over the shoulder carry rig for the Ranger series is a must have item.

Andy and Joseph Szilaki discuss tomahawk design.

You saw the it on the cover of Knives Illustrated, now meet the man Cory Stillwell the man behind the camera. Great work Cory.

Andy and friend Mike Payne from Memphis discuss hawks. Andy was ready to talk dealer programs at thei show.

More to come

Several people stopped by the table to pick up the hawks and meet the special guests.

The ATC table was a fun place to visit.

ATC man Frank Butterworth and SSG Gingrich discuss Ranger training.

The Caracci-Man

or as know by some Elementary School teachers as the Big Scary Guy. In reality Chris is both a gentleman and a scholar. I will have one of his Pendulum self-defense knives.

A Blade Show highlight, Maria Lagana holding a pair of her father's famous tomahawks. What a sweet lady.

More to come

Visiting with Maria and Lagana Grandchildren was a special pleasure. Part of the proceeds from the sales of the Vietnam hawk series goes to the Lagana family. Andy, Bobby, and Frank did it right this time.

When the famous Walter Brend starts talking about tomahawks you couldn't help but perk your ears and listen.

The ATC crew was a fun bunch and we had a blast.

Ranger Gingrich and the Caracci-Man demostrate the proper way to give a Grunt haircut.

What?
All I said was, "Hey guys, do you think I could be a Ranger?"

The ATC Anti-Terrorist Squad ready for action. The V-Man was on a recon mission.

The W&E Trading Company was proud to be able to take part in this year's Blade Show. We appreciate all the support Andy, Bobby, and Frank lend to our efforts.
Thanks guys

Melvin,

Great pics. Thanks for posting them. I think we all need to pitch in and get Andy a hat like Kenny's though.

Really Andy, you'd look GRRREAT in a hat like that.
