Wow, there sure do seem to be quite a few rumors being generated and circulated. It's really amusing hearing them.
We're all very excited about setting up at the 2000 SHOT Show and displaying our newest products. Even I gotta admit...they're very cool.
I recognize Las Vegas as a very convenient and organized convention city. We are sure that the upcoming SHOT Show will provide many of it's attendees the largest selection of new products ever!
With the travel schedules we keep, the SHOT show is often one of the few times we get to mingle and visit with many of our friends who are in the business. Sal Glesser and his wife, Gail, the owners of Spyderco, have been and will continue to be our traditional dinner companions for one night during each SHOT Show.
We really enjoy each other's company and it's nice kinda "growing up" with each other. It's almost like no one else really appreciates what it's like to take something you really love and try and make a living at it!
Benchmade will definitely be at the 2000 SHOT Show. So will a select team of our employees, who have begun interviewing for the coveted slots available for getting to represent our company - and their peers - at this year's show.
After all, who knows a Benchmade Knife better than the very people who make them! We look forward to seeing and visiting with all of you that will be fortunate enough to attend this year's party!
Happy Thanksgiving,
Les de Asis
President
Benchmade Knife Co., Inc.
