Just a few more weeks until the Oregon Knife Collectors Association show.

The show is April 8-10 in Eugene Oregon. For those of you who have never attended, it is a big show with a lot of talented makers. It has always been a lot of fun for me. I will have my normal spot along the back wall.

Will you be attending the show?

Will you have a table(s)?
If yes, what are you bringing?

Maybe you could post some photos?
 
Raymond Richard has been telling me i need to get to this show for some time, but unfortunately I'll have to miss this one (again...).

Hope to see some pics in this thread of the knives I'll miss, and maybe some show pics afterwards.

Eli, Is this a request? I'll try to remember to bring my camera. Now the big problem is remembering to use it. Here's a couple knives I'll have with me if they don't sell before hand. Got a new one I'll be posting tomorrow.

Are you back in the USA or still abroad?

I'll be there too, Its the most interesting show IMO to see. There are collections from around the globe on display also about 350 tables of knives and knives and knives and materials at all prices.
I dont even have a knife done for it yet, behind as usual.

now, he isn't looking at you like that the whole time is he? I might find it a little unnerving...

Ray, next time you talk to Dave, ask him to be beat poet. He's amazing!:thumbup: One of my favourite knifeguys, so intense and so much fun!
 
I'll be attending as a spectator, as always. I really enjoy this show. Last year Chuck Gollnick emceed a pretty interesting bali panel, and I'm not even a balisong guy.

See y'all there!

Lorien, I may have thrown something at Dave just before I snapped the picture. I know Dave played in a band years ago. He's a pretty talented man.

Ray, I'm back at home enjoying a nice spring day in Texas :). Nice blades.

Raymond Richard, Dave Lisch, Bruce Bumb, Mike Turner ---- it already sounds like it'll be a great show!
 
I'll be there. I'm looking forward to stopping by Mark's table:thumbup::thumbup:.
I've got an 11" coffin handle dagger I'm hoping to have done for the show.

Dave, Just make sure I have my hair slicked back for any picture taking. I just hope the Quense didn't cancel sharing a room with you after seeing your picture. :D

Eli, Glad to hear you made it home safely.
 
Somebody said people like walnut handles on bowies and fighters so I cut some big blocks just in case.

I had forgotten how much wood I had set aside for the show.
Here is a little more.

I plan on arriving Friday.. Ray, Dave, Bruce - I'll see y'all for sure...
Missed last year... first time in 11 years, so I'm looking forward to getting back down there...
 
I'll be there, tables Q10-11. My lovely wife Sally will have some new mosaic pin styles. I'll have a couple of different style knives than what I usually do. I'm tired of small knives.

No pics yet.
