What an incredible lineup, and such an opportunity for you to meet them. You never know how many of those guys won't be around for next year's show. Thank you!
 
Vincent,

Way to go, thanks for capturing those moments with folks at Blade.
 
Dang! I'm so jealous! One of these days I will make it to a show. Those Loveless knives are gorgeous!
Thanks for the great pics.
 
Thank you for sharing, Vincent!

Does Blade allow DSLR photography? I might go next year, and would love to bring my Nikon.
 
Vincent, thanks for sharing your images. I posted a quickie thread in Customs to advise those of us who hang out there of this particular thread, fyi.

Best regards,

Bob Betzner
