Ok. I'm just going to bulletpoint some of my venting. (I actually liked Blade West in Portland.) But here goes.
The new show is 2 weeks after California Custom Knife Show (seriously?) Just like BW 2019
The suggested hotels were not suggested by the locals there. (some of which would wind up on investigation discovery)
The afterparty was a fiasco. (Once again talk to the locals going. I could have made 3 phone calls and gotten better food trucks, DJs, circus/burlesque or strippers.) (never mind how the cutting competition weirdness)
No sales tax in the state of oregon (yay).
Also there are other convention center areas in the Portland area as well so there shouldn't be any issues with finding a better location to do this.
