Time for the 2011 Blade Show Pics (Including Blade Booty)

[2manyknives]

I made the trip to Blade from Australia this year - it was long, tiring and worth every bit of it. It was hard to take in the sheer amount of very high quality hand made knives and the willingness and enthusiasm of makers to talk about their blades and their craft. The range of vintage knives was also incredible. It is an extraordinary event and I look forward to a return visit.

I've been in the area twice now when blade was on and still haven't been , next year I feel will be the year since I'll be a US perm resident...I'll likely take more pics than buy knives, but if I can score a custom from any of the great custom makers on here I will.

Kind of hoping there would have been more pics, I know last year I almost felt like I was there with the volume of pics posted throughout the forum.
