Oh I have his photo with me,myself and I,I wont give you nightmares so will post just him.

I didnt recognise his boat race (face) it was his lovely Irish voice I recognised.

 

[Johnnythefox]

The famous Paddy potato peeler we had a nice little chat.

He described the show well,he has the perfect voice to entertain.

 

[Oldy]

I was thinking every video paddy has shown,it is always his hands only.so I thought he wanted to remain anonymous, but I was wrong.

Lionel fanthorpe has been replaced by paddy in the great Britain voices.

 

[Johnnythefox]

Lots of country’s where there Lithuania,Italy etc.




















I liked these below.

















Smiling Italian with his wife,she thought it was funny,






Quality,the sheath was wood and a perfect fit,loved it.















These Didsbury where real good quality and a great design.

I was tired by this time so needed a sit down and a tea.



Massive wait at the burger and tea van.

But I had bought everything to make a tea or so I thought.

I forgot the tea bags,thankfully I found a coffee bag in my car from my trip to Wales.

It's appreciated.

JohnnytheFox, Great photos, thanks for sharing them. Looks like the kind of knife show I would greatly enjoy. After a 3 year pause, the Oregon Knife Collectors show went on last April. Good to see old friends and wander the aisles looking for treasures to take home. Received notice that the 2024 show might not happen, will be a big disappointment if it does not happen. John

Thanks for the additional pics, John. It is nice to see a pic of the whole venue.

At the knife show there do they have alot of old stock of the older sheffield knife makers from the past,when you search some of the dealer sites here( never have gone to ebay)the supplies are lacking.what is more troubling is how much counterfeiting was going on,it leaves you second guessing.i was looking at an eye witness that said Ian white cutter,I asked if they had a signed card by him(saw someone in one ot the threads here post a picture of it)and never received a reply.but a little more reading and a little more research won't kill me,it might even be fun.

Johnnythefox what size are those I wonder?

 

[Johnnythefox]

Johnnythefox what size are those I wonder?

I would say about 12 to 20 inches, they lookeed like useful tools for rough work.

Johnnythefox You must have been worn out by the end of the day, so much to take in but a buzz feeling tiredness Liked the Medieval eating knives.

Was interested to see some of Paul Mason's knives on sale, I'm sure he used to post his work on this Forum some years back?

Those throwing knives...I could make use of them sometimes
