Well, it was my first knife show, and it was a blast!

I've been to hundreds of gunshows, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I suppose I wasn't too far off. There was a gathering of many talented people in one room, and an appreciative crowd circulating around to see the "goods."

What was funny was that it seemed to take about a half hour to make my way around to all the tables, stopping only at the ones that appealed to my tastes. But it turned out that somehow, three hours had elapsed before I left. Now how did that happen???

The other surprise was that most of the knives felt the way they looked. Until now, I've only been able to handle production knives, relying solely upon web and magazine pictures to judge custom knives (including the one I ended up buying). The knives that looked heavy were, the ones that looked balanced were. I didn't expect that.

Anyway, the show was a hoot. How did everyone else enjoy the show?
 
Sounds like you had a good time. . .



(imagine a very deep and threatening voice)

And where are the pictures young man ? ;)
 
(again, imagine a very deep. . .yet threatening. . .Godly voice)

"Ye shall never post a thread about a knife show that you've attended. . .unless ye has pictoore's to to show in thy post !

What's surprisin'. . .you've been here since Jan 2000.

I lower my head in disgust !

LOL! I started in the bladeforums when I lived in New Mexico. Alas, now I am a Wilsonite.

I didn't post any pictures of the blade show, because I didn't think anyone was interested.

Here's a picture of me at the table of the Jones brothers. I liked Philip's new do.

...Of course, you might not think the dagger in the center qualifies as early Americana, but I happen to know there's a history of royalty in this country. That's right; I've heard of a place called Kings Ferry, and don't forget Duke University. :)

See? We know stuff.
 
Dex. . .as usual ~ U DA MAN ! ! !

Thanks for sharin' ! :D

Do you think that you can hook up with your 2 Norf Ca-lina breathern and assist them in the art of pictoore takin' while they are at a knife show ? Please.
