Blade Show Update
WOW! Sensation overload!! That sums up my first day at the Blade Show. Over the top!
It is everything I hoped it would be.
Making my rounds. Established contact for us with Ka-Bar, Spyderco, Strider and some others. Got more to do today.
The tactical makers are all here and that knife is dominating the show. Seems everyone, including the "traditional" makers are offering some form of it. Not all, but quite a few. Meet a custom maker this morning who is only into making it too. His line ranges from $400 to $4000.
The traditional manufacturers are all here. Case is here is full force, as it Canal Street, Queen, Great Eastern and others.
I'll report in more detail with pics when I get home and settled it, but suffice to say the Blade Show is the mainline fix for us knife addicts.
Knife is Good!

Great intel there Gary. I know I walked by every booth a thousand times and spoke to most of them, but couldn't remember seeing them. Now I know why. Thanks. Love to know why. I'll see if I can find out what happened.

I really didn't either! And if you can believe that I didn't spend over $180 on knives while I was there :)...but boy did I get some good stuff for us here, plus made some excellent contacts.
