Past blade show awards?

[The_Guide]

Hey all,

I am trying to find the list of blade show award winners from the past blade shows. Does anyone know if there is an archive or something that has the lists of winners?

Thanks!
:thumbup:

Anyone? I can only find 2010 and 2011 through google... I am on a quest to collect all the blade show winners for the past several years... (Production, the customs would be waaay to much $$$ and harder to find)

Did a little looking and only found the lists for 2011/12. I'll try to remember to hunt around tomorrow.
There has to be a list of them somewhere, everything else is listed on the internet.

Did a bit more hunting and managed to find 2008 and 2009.

Found 2007 on my Blade Mag DVD, but for some reason it won't let me cut and paste, and I don't feel like typing them out .
The Blade DVD set for 1997-2008 is available on Amazon for about $26. Not a bad thing to have. You need a PC to "read" them. Won't work in your TV DVD player. It's just a set of PDF files(each month is a seperate file). No overall index or really anything that makes it easy to use, but at least the files are grouped by year.

Considering you can find detailed listings for almost every obscure thing on the internet, I'm still surprised that Blade or someone hasn't set up one spot for all those years to be recorded. Or at least I haven't found it yet.

Hope this helps you out.

Sorry to resurrect a dead threat but, I was wondering if there's been anybody who's compiled a list of all the awards throughout the history of Blade Show or something, seems like it be something interesting and useful to have.

When I was looking for the info in the above reply I couldn't find an historical listing online and finally hunted up that info from my BLADE DVD.

I suggested to Steve Shackleford (the editor) that an online list or even a published one in the mag could intersting, but as far as I know that has not been done.
