Vegas Area Knife Makers / Collectors

[John T Wylie Jr]

We tried this a few years ago , spoke with Brad and we decided to give it another attempt.

See if we can't get all the knife making & knife collecting folks in the Vegas , Henderson , Boulder City ( and even Pahrump ) together for a meet up.

Who is interested ?

Once we have a general head count , we can decide where & when to hold it.

I don't mind doing it at my shop , but it isn't air conditioned ( if it was , I would be grinding instead of posting ).

Thanks John. As mentioned, I am in for sure!

[John T Wylie Jr]

see....told ya

Heck we got enuff now for a get together. :thumbup:

 

[polojeff]

I would show up. By no means am I an expert, but I'd love to come out meet everyone. I'm in SoCal for the next 5 months so its close

 

[John T Wylie Jr]

Any night works for me , or weekend mornings.....what day of the week would be good for everyone ?

 

[jimmyseymour]

I'm working nights this sun. to wed. Any other time I'm off. How about everyone else?

 

[B.V.]

Anytime on Friday's or Saturday's for me (except Sept. 10).

 

[John T Wylie Jr]

Only days that are really not good for me are the 2nd Sundays of the month starting Sept , as the Subgun Competition season starts up again , though I am usually done and home by 2'ish.

How bout a Saturday afternoon/evening ? Maybe meet at Johnny Mac's in Henderson ?
I know that is close for me , parfive , jimmy and kinda close for Kirk..BV ? or maybe Claimjumpers ?

 

[jimmyseymour]

Never been to Johnny Mac's. Sounds good to me. I got two rough forge blades I started before the summer heat made it to hot to forge.

 

[B.V.]

I'm in, anywhere is good for me. I don't have much finished but a few in the process that I am trying to finish before the hammer-in in Oct.

[John T Wylie Jr]

I have my carry knife , and maybe one or two of my older ones I made laying around...nothing special.

I can bring some others as well : Elishewitz , Blackwood , Rinaldi , Simonich & Striders.

Saturday's might be crowded at J-Mac's I am guessing , did football start yet ?

 

[fireman99]

Alright, I am going to throw it out there. Saturday, Aug. 28 at Johnny Macs (which is in the Smiths shopping center at Boulder Hwy and Palo Verde) at noon. They may be busy, but if so, we have several other alternatives very close by which we can discuss once we all get there.

Hope this works for everyone but we just need to get a time set and go from there. If this time doesn't work for someone, we can make changes, but this at least gets us started... First round of drinks is on me!

Kirk

 

[John T Wylie Jr]

I am in . Date/Time works for me.

 

[B.V.]

Good call, I'm in.

 

[jimmyseymour]

I'm in. What time does everyone want to meet? I'm off that day so I can make it whatever time is good for everybody else.

 

[John T Wylie Jr]

How about 1pm ? That work for everyone ?

I no longer drink , but they do have decent wings there
