Lloyd and Dave, thank you for sharing all the photos for those of us who weren't able to make it! :thumbup:

Charlie, although I'm not particularly well-versed in vintage Schrades, I think I can confidently say that those are some very nice finds!

There was something for everyone interests......

Butterfly knife display....

Sharpening Stone display....

It was Positively Medieval !!

Miniature knives... once again some of my photos were not acceptable.

If you were looking for handle material, leather work, or unfinished blades.... they were there!! :thumbup:

I couldn't resist the black and white ebony!! Now I need a worthy project!


Dave

 

[knowtracks]

Time for some friendly faces!!!! :thumbup:

Charlie and Barry hard at work!

Josh showed up to check out the new Diamond Jack......

I swear, the only time I didn't see this look on Charlie's face the WHOLE weekend, was when he was eating!!

Our financial wizard!!!! Lloyd

Dale Vincent (Orvet) and his Lovely Wife from over at AAPK

There's a lot going on under that hat!!

Plenty of knife makers for all tastes!
I got one of Mr. Hatfield knives this year. Great feel and steel at a Very reasonable price! A straight forward working knife!! :thumbup::thumbup:

This years show theme was the paring knife but I only saw a few makers with any for sale. This knife maker is also very artistic!!
When I saw Mr. Bobbio Very reasonable paring knives I immediately thought of Christmas presents!! But I had to share his art work with you all!
This piece was all made out of 3 railroad spikes.

Couple shots of the room....

Some of the fun staff on hand!

That Hobo Knife display was one of the surprise highlights of the show for me. I had no idea there were so many. And it was just fun to see.

ASTOUNDING array of materials :thumbup:

But that Black&White Ebony really catches my eye too. You need a worthy project? I have a CASE Penknife in boring old Yellow D that's gasping for new scales like that

Thanks, Will

Like I said, something for everyone!!!

I have seen this artist for the past 3 years here, simply AMAZING work!!! Both these pieces are sword canes.

More swords....

The most unusual Barlow of the show! I've never seen another like it, and the owner knew it and priced it accordingly!!!

I saved one of the coolest displays for last! This one is for chuko....so here ya go Charles!! :thumbup:
I had a long talk with David Schultz, a very gracious man! He even took time to come and open each display for a better picture!
It was quite obvious to me than a great deal of passion and money was required to put this amazing display together!!
Here is the Man and his knives!

Well that's all folks!!! Hope to see you in Eugene next April........:thumbup:
