just got back from my second day at blade west. it was my first time at the show, and i thoroughly enjoyed seeing all that it had to offer.
first off, many thanks to idahoskunk for offering up the vip passes. it was nice to get in on his generosity. there were lot's off great knives, i've seen a lot of pictures on here of the production and variants, and it was great to actually get my hands on some of these gorgeous knives.
i was actually able to score a couple of the muddy mastiffs, a muddy rat and one of the ram's horn handled custom game wardens, which i got to handle, but that i'm going to have to wait to take possesion on. i've got to hand it to jerry - without taking anything away from the other goodies, that ram's horn warden is an outstanding piece of work. at least i can stop spending every free moment here on the exchange forum and ebay (at least until the funds are replenished).
i've been lurking here for a little while, looking at all the different busses and rats, and getting to know some of the people through their posts. it was nice to meet idahoskunk, 360joules (check out his website if you haven't already), and a couple others who i hope will accept my apologies for being horrible with names. i also was able to meet brian of okudan, my 4 year old hasn't stopped playing with the scrap piece of micarta that brian gave him.
great show, as those that made it will agree with. sorry i can't post pics right now of the new aquisitions, but there are pics of them in jerry's overganzaa posts.
thanks again to everyone at the booth, and to jerry,
Winston
