A little bit of background. I have been reading Jeff's articles in Tactical Knives for years. So when I started going to Blade 4 years ago I made a point to have a chat with him about his articles and knives (I also tried to get him to write a Wilderness Survival book but no luck yet.) I have stopped to talk to him every year (I always seemed to miss the models though dangit!) and last year I met Mike for the first time.
This year I stopped once again to say hi and was immediately attacked by both a stunning young lady and a young whippersnapper. It appears both felt they had to put me in my place because of the Busse shirt I was wearing. I purchased an Izulu to try to pacify the pair and Mr. Shotgunner finally waded in and beat them off with a stick....momentarily. Jeff was busy talking to someone....I never did get to say more than hi to him, and was unable to vouch for me. Thankfully Mike came to my rescue and we talked about some of the neat Esee products. As usual Mike could care less what my shirt said. I eventually won over the stunning young lady and she realized that I wasn't that bad after all. That whippersnapper however was still challenging me to the very end.
I learned that the stunning young lady was Mrs. Shotgunner and if ever there was a person who was almost exactly like I pictured them she was! I saw with my own eyes the power of the eye batting and the men who were powerless to resist. Men I am warning you, if you ever see her at a knife show.. GRAB YOUR WALLET AND RUN THE OTHER WAY!!! I mean she was clothed from neck to toe and she still had guys buying everything she suggested. I am lucky I left my wallet with a friend after the first day..whew!!
I went around Sunday to take some pics of my heroes and friends that I had missed in previous years. I got pics with AG Russell, Chuck Buck, Bob Dozier, and then I went to the Esee booth. Only to find that that darn Jeff Randall had already left! Mike was kind enough to take a picture with me though and if you look close you can see Mrs. S doin' her hair preparing for the second pic. Eat your heart out guys! No disrespect Mr. S but I always kind of wondered if mrshotty@doublebarrel..... stood for Mr. Shotty, or Mrs. Hotty. Since she recently referred to it as HER site on the bandana thread I guess we know.
All funning aside you are a great bunch and I enjoyed meeting you all.
