See ya there, my friend. I'll be set up in the same place as always; left side, directly behind Ray Cover.
 
TLC,

When you see Danbo kick him in the shins for me. Thanks. ;) :D :thumbup:
 
Great question. Any manufacturers or will it just be dealers? How large? Worth a drive from St. Louis? :D
 
It's a small, but nice, knife only show. Set in a building in the city park right in the middle of town. Half the room is custom makers like Craig Camerer, Ray Cover Sr and his Son, Jeff Cover(who is getting pretty good himself), Chuck Hawes, Mark Nevling, Rick Nowland and some others. The other half of the room is filled with people selling parts of their collections, so you never know what you might find.

Even though it's a small show, I have personally found many jewels at this show. So, to answer your question; Yes, it's worth the hour drive from St. Louis! :)
 
It's about 50 minutes for me and I wouldn't miss it for the world. It's the only pure "knife only" show around these parts.

They do a great job of blending commercial sellers with custom makers.
 
Remember, if you see Danbo please kick him in the shins for me. :)
 
Let us know how this went. I spent my one-day kitchen pass at the Indy 1500 on Friday.
 
Just got home, not a bad show. The crowd was a little thin, but I was there from 9 to 12 which is early.
 
good to see ya, Confederate. Glad ya didn't kick my shins too hard. ;) :D
