I asked this as well! This is what I've been told: 1) HYDRATE! Lots of water, I'm planning on bringing my camelback 3L. 2) Wear comfortable shoes. You're going to be on your feet a LOT this weekend make sure the shoes are WELL broken in and comfortable. 3) most of the action happens in the carport at night or the "Pit" which is a bar that is in the lobby. 4) the going gear guys have good stuff, bargains sometimes. 5) downstairs from the convention hall, there is a "food court". awesome place to get quick food and drinks - the subway is a solid.

Whatever you do, avoid the Pit at all costs . . . nothing good ever comes of a visit there.

looks like the wage earners in your family are learning some lessons, too. Just not the same ones.On a different note, I just broke the lawnmower.I didn't check the oil and the engine got fried.

So the kids were playing in the driveway and the boy asked me to make him a wooden sword / knife. I have a giant pieces of 3/8 inch plyboard that I started cutting out some the designs I posted the other day. Then I used some of the trimming pieces to add to each side of the cut out for scales and used wood glue to attach it. Then I used the belt sander to grind it all down nicely. I really like the recurve. The skinner's blade is a little too fat for my likings, I will reshape it later. I still have a big enough piece should I get ambitious enough to try the bigger sword.

My sister got a job marketing cutco knives. While I feel the knives are over priced for what they are, the sales pitch would work great for people un educated about knives (which oddly enough includes her manager who couldn't tell me if their "straight edge sharpener" is just a cheap pull through carbide sharpener, or if it's special in any way.
Still, I can't afford any one of their pieces at the moment.

Cutco owns Ka-Bar... However the Becker kitchen knives were made by Esee not by Ka-Bar.

I neither know nor care who you're talking about... nor do I want to know who it is. But in my not-so-humble opinion that is some BALONEY SAUSAGE cheap-butt nonsense* right there. And you are more than welcome to quote me on that, anywhere. (Keeping in mind that I only speak for myself)
*it took me eight entire minutes to edit that part down to a PG version that's appropriate for this forum and not get myself an infraction for cussing... pretty sure y'all can guess what I really meant
That's actually pretty funny.
The absolute one thing you definitely MUST do is walk up to Rick's table and say, "Hi, Chip! How's it goin'?"... and then tell him Mr. T says howdy.
Actually, that's a terrible idea... don't do that.

The best advice I can give you is go strait to T.M.Hunts booth at 12AA and spend all of your money so not be be tempted by other trinkets of cutlery to immaturily.
Good logic, but its not quite that simple, still got to be in the right place at the right time......and expect a 30min. to a hour wait at any givin time at said Subway.
