Who’s going to Blade 2018??

God speed and drive safe. I can’t find my Bladeforums shirt. I really wanted to wear it.
 
Definitely take a break for lunch. It’s way too huge and exhausting to take it all in with a single trip. I’ll be there, I’m so pumped!!!

Oh, and if you’re looking for knives on the secondary market (and there will be a LOT of sellers and knives to look at), a lot of the dealers will have more/different variety still in their bags not on display.

That was a helluva great time! First time going, we got there early Friday to pick up our passes and see what was going on, talk to some folks. Met alot of really nice people, and then rolled once the doors were open. Missed out on the Microtech show special, the downside to not knowing about it until afterwards. On the upside I realized that I can sell my knives for a fair bit more then I thought I could on a national market (ie, online). Downside is I got a slight nibble, not fully bitten, by the damascus bug. Bought about 130 dollars worth of off cuts from Alabama Damascus specifically for Kiridashi and other minor hand tools for leather work and bolsters. That was an amazing time, and I will absolutely be going again.
