How could anyone possibly forget the two Mayo TNT's?
I thought my 3.4" LH med recurve was sufficient, until I got a chance to handle Kawanin's XLG. Wow. I'm going to remedy that problem real soon!
And Nifrand was a hoot to boot. Loved his knife show stories, especially the one about that little incident up in Solvang.
He also explained to me what to look for in a good slipjoint, having displayed some beautiful examples there. Though they're still not my cup of tea, I came away more appreciative of the work that goes into making them, especially since he kept emphasizing how much more difficult they are to make than most "tacticals."
All in all, a great location that was spacious enough. And I didn't see one drunk all night.

Ah yes the TNT, very light and sharp but handles were a little slick for my sometimes sweaty hands.
There was also the Dozier Razorback with a black handle. Very much a good feeling utility neck knife with a wide but flat kydex.
To add to the story, my block experienced a blackout (not rolling) and yet people still partied at 2AM in the dark. The Photons came real handy as I worked my way to getting the Maglite and candles. I only saw one drunk, who decided to sleep in my neighbor's entranceway but woke up and left after an hour.
