The Knives Illustrated Spirit of Steel Knife Show has been postponed until a to-be-determined date in 2010.
Reason for postponing the show is that my daughter is expected to be delivering my grandchild that weekend. We were in the delivery room when my grandson was born in 2007, and we will be there for this one as well.
If you have grandchildren, you understand. If you don't have grandchildren may you be so blessed at some point (and then you too will understand why we postponed the show).
As Debbie and I run the show and would therefore not be able to be at the show, we felt it best to postpone the show. It will be rescheduled.
For far too many years in the 80's I spent Halloween at knife shows in either Cincinnati or Anaheim. Because I was attending knife shows I missed taking my girls trick-or-treating most of the time. Looking back at my memories of those shows, versus my memories of the times I was able to take my daughters trick-or-treating, I know now that I made the wrong choice then. I made a promise to myself that I would not make that kind of mistake again, and to manage a knife show while my daughter is having a baby is a mistake I do not intend to make.

) I fully understand and while I know people will feel put out; you're doing right by your own. I spent a lot of my life tramping around the world for Uncle Sugar and my kids got mementos instead of memories. I'm trying to spend the time I have now building memories instead of providing momentos. Hope that makes sense.
