The great Blade show in Atlanta starts tomorrow I believe!! 😁 If anyone on BF is going, please take some pictures and post them, along with
some anecdotes for us poor stay-at-homes, who can't make it!!:( I was able to go once, many years ago, and remember it fondly!!:cool:
 
Sadly, Kerry took just one picture today at Blade.

Edited to add photo documentation of the one time Charlie attended Blade.

I have never been so overwhelmed, thought I went to knife heaven.
My wife knows nothing about knives and she was so inquisitive asking the makers all kinds of questions. Everyone was so accommodating.

Wife had phone for pic..I'm in blue. A man on a mission. My wife said we could not leave until I bought a knife.
This main hall must have been the size of 5 soccer fields!

Sadly, I missed Rhidian, but my wallet was happy.😀IMG_20260606_124018.jpg

My one purchase, a Barret Chrisman.

I got a couple knife gifts and non-knife things today. The only knife I got for myself today. The brothers (I believe) from Le Thiers / Douk-Douk were a pleasure to meet and speak with. Peter Reed (South Africa) pen is very nice can take a Parker cartridge. Lot of cool detail to it.

That’s a beautiful Barlow. Congrats.

Thanks Coleman. Barret was a nice gentleman to discuss knives with.
His work is sweet, especially for a person who does it part time. I'm very impressed with his jigging.

It looks wonderfully done. A fine Barlow to pass down one day…and beautiful bolster marking as well. Congrats!

Nice to see these pics Bob, are you the Blue T-Shirt sporting the very cool 'stache?
Gorgeous Bone on that Chrisman Bob.

Hi Duncan, the jigging is what drew me to the knife.
I am the bent over old man in bright blue. Looking at 2 large tables of GEC knives. You are seeing about 1/2 of the room in photo. There was another room about 1 soccer field in size!
