Well...I went to this show on Saturday and I have to say I was disappointed.
There were almost no knife dealers/makers there. If you were there for just guns...you would have been extremely happy.....I saw a lot of nice pieces.
I went for knives. A few of the gun dealers had bayonets and military knives....Ka-bars....etc. A few also were selling S&W knives and the ever present MTech garbage knives.
Luckily I found a table run by a forumite, CRKS from Chestnut Ridge Knife Shop. He had a nice selection spanning most categories. I picked up a gorgeous Boker Copperhead Grand Canyon. I would have also grabbed an Ontario RAT-3 in D2 if he had a plain edge. He had sold out.
I also found a stand run by Blind Horse Knives. I picked a very nice smaller fixed blade. D2 blade (same heat treat as Queen knives) and removable antique micarta handles. It came with a very nice leather sheath. I really like this knife. I'll post some pics shortly.
I was a little disappointed with the number of knife dealers/makers at the show. Maybe it's not worth their time to attend these events but I know I bought a knife at every table selling quality pieces (there were 2). I left with money in my pocket that I had every intention of spending.
