Blades,
I just got back from LV last weekend, too. I did visit Blanchards twice while I was there. It's a nice store that's for sure with plenty of knives for the browsing including custom and fantasy. But that's all I did was browse....after buying knives on the internet I couldn't pay those premium prices. I met Mrs Blanchard and she is a very nice person. I enjoyed talking to her. I also bought some back issues of Blade and some sharpening stones but no knife since I knew I had my new Sebenza waiting for me at home.
I couldn't find Phil's listed in the phone book so I couldn't visit his store. I have seen his web site, though.
I also met fellow Blade Forums member Marv Edgeworth in Vegas. He was kind enough to take me out for some Thai food and we spent the evening talking knives. Marv is all class, I appreciated his hospitality.
