Blade Show 2016 - PHOTOS!!!

OK, I'm a bit behind on this post, so my apologies in advance. Two days at Blade is always not enough, but what a great time. Awesome people and fantastic knives. It was great catching up with old friends and making new ones, and of course meeting Jan and her husband in person!!

I strongly encourage you, if you can, to attend any of the knife shows in your local area and support these artisans and all the work they do. Knife people are simply the best! Enjoy (and please excuse the lighting - these shows are rough to photograph at!)

Thanks Derek. What a great show. Hopefully next time I can finally make the full three days! But, any knife show you can go to is a fun time. How can it not be?
