Kaylin and I, along with my grandson, Nik, and son-in-law, Matt, made the 5 hour drive up to the Dalton show, this past weekend.

While the biggest topic of conversation was Jan's not being able to come, we still had a great time.  As always, I enjoy seeking out other iKC members and sponsors; special shout out to Ken and Roger, of Blue Creek; Gina, from Smith's; Gary Kennedy, Mark Zalesky, from Knife World;  and Ryan Daniels. Not to be left out, Bruce Voyles, the "Host"  for the day.

While I didn't have any particular knives that I was looking for, and having checked all the usual tables, I concentrated on the "Junk Bins". You know the ones I'm talking about, they're common at the shows.  Dealer will toss stock into a bin marked, usually, $5.00; $10.00; to as much as $15.00.  These are where I spent my meager amount of cash on.

 I also picked up a 6inch Ezy-Lap diamond sharpener.

I Didn't go broke, but I was extremely happy with what I found.
