I hate to say it...but my friends and I are unhappy with the goings-down at the NYC Knife show held this weekend at the Sheraton in NYC.
Certain companies were represented well-kudos to BUSSE and R.E.K.A.T., for a great "do what u want to our stuff attitude" and to Elishewitz for being incredibly approachable...actually a big moment for us-one our women didn't understand.
I looked foward to grilling Benchmade-to no avail, the lady working the both was as clueless of my girlfriend, actual more so-at least my girlfriend used our Tuff-Cloth to remove prints!
The guy at Kolutzi (spelling) was boring...Spyderco had the most reasonable prices of the show...which brings us to another element...
I could have gone to my car, used my cell modem to order ANY of the knives displayed for nearly 50% of the show's prices-not something good to see after paying a $12 cvr chrg to enter the room!!!
All in all, the show was not worth it-I would have been better taking a guided tour from Fred at KnifeOulet of his web site! Hell-I would pay Fred $20 to tour his stock room!!!
Final note...we were worried about show etiquette-but everyone was terrific when it came to handling the pieces...Clearly Busse and REKAT were the shows standouts, allowing you to watch a cool video, as well as do anything to their equipment!

God's choices in inflicicting suffering are unsatisfactory to us, nor are they understandable, unless innocence offends him. Clearly he needs some help in directing the fury with which he flogs the earth...
