Time to get this show on the road!!! I've been missing it, for 3 years now, and I'm very excited to be going after all this time!! It is not as easy for us West-coasters to get to a show - so many shows are in the east!!
It is a huge show for us, and affords cutlery lovers a great variety - customs, antiques, and even cookware!!
I am packing up, and taking a slow drive there, starting tomorrow morning!!
I've got some very interesting stuff coming with me this year, and GEC is back this year!!!
I hope to see a bunch of old friends there, and will try to populate this thread with pictures, starting Saturday!!
I've heard my old Empire display, sold a few years ago, will be there, along with many other cutlery displays!!!
Try to make it if you can!! My table, as always, is number U-2!!!
Come on down!!!

Vince, for me it was a Hitchcock allusion. :thumbsup::thumbsup:🤓
I wasn't even aware of the Hamlet connection until I googled your quote. :cool::thumbsup::cool: And then I ran into serious Shakespeare commentators who went on and on about whether "hawk" and "handsaw" were both birds or whether both were tools!o_O:eek: I'm in way over my head! And I never dreamed that the title of the Hitchcock film may have been inspired by a fuller version of this quote from Hamlet (although Hitchcock apparently debunked that view).
Who knew that pocket knives could lead to so much knowledge/speculation???

I assumed Hitchcock took the title from Hamlet, but maybe not....

Would love to go to that show. Looking forward to the pics.
 
Oh wow thanks Charlie for posting this thread I’ve been out of the loop and I also haven’t been to this one in a while . I’m going to try and make it this weekend fingers crossed 👍🏻
Looking forward to seeing you again it’s been to many years. Your wealth of knowledge for knives and kindness as always was so inspiring and I was honored to have met you.

Maybe one year I might make it. This year though I will stay local and do the Lehigh Valley knife show instead. No comparison I am sure of that, have a good time Charlie!

It was nice to see Charlie today. I got to bring my daughter Abby to the show as well, and she picked up a little sub-forum inappropriate knife today. I also picked up a marginally sub-forum appropriate knife, even though I had planned to not buy anything. Sometimes a knife just calls. So glad to have the show going on again :)

Hopefully everyone had a blast and has a safe trip home. I can't wait to see all the pictures from the show!
