What should I take with me to Blade?

[Atlas Knife Company]

Aside from money, a couple forges, burners, and fishing gear for Lake Lanier and a bottle of Bourbon for Rick, what else should I bring?

 

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

Very comfortable shoes!
A good camera.
A large note pad, pens and sketch pencils.
Business cards.
A log book to keep track of people who say, I'll email you later about getting an XYZ", or you saying, "Give me your card, I'll email you about XYZ". Trust me, you will be happy you wrote it all down in August. The log book should have a zip lock bag in the back for the cards people leave with you.

A bottle of single malt for me

I can only fit 3 bottles in my satchel, so one of them has your name on it Bill. Are you driving or Flying?

I can only fit 3 bottles in my satchel,......

I can save you some room....mail mine to me

 

[Atlas Knife Company]

OK, 4 @ 750ml and 2 @ 375ml. Super smooth, a very successful first AG batch from Iowa grown rye. Double distilled, very conservative cuts both heads and tails. Aged/flavored 2 months on medium toast American spirals.

Sorry, Stacey, can't mail it though. Let me know if you've got a friend there I could drop one off with.

Cash!!!

 

[Atlas Knife Company]

Oh, yes, cash to tip the fishing guide. Anything else?

So far, I'm planning on taking 2 forges, 2 100k burners and a 30k burner.

 

[Atlas Knife Company]

Oh, yeah, like any of the bottles actually made it out of Atlanta.

Blade was great. We'll definitely have a table setup next year. Both the forges I brought this year were sold in 30 minutes!
