Dave, when I saw this shot, a line from the movie "Field of Dreams" popped into my head, when a dead baseball player says, "Is this heaven?" and Kevin Costner's character says, "No, it's Iowa!" I could imagine sometime making it to the show and seeing something like Dave's picture and asking if I'm in heaven and being told no it's the Oregon knife show!...
Row after row of dealers with cabinets full of knives like these...
...

Dan, congrats on each and every one of those beauties you acquired! :thumbup: They're all fabulous and I haven't looked at them in detail yet, but the first thing that caught my eye was that killer shield on the Keen Kutter scout knife!!Here are the knives I purchased at the show. Top pic is 4 Keen Kutters and a Pal Cutlery Co which was modded by a member of another forum. Second pic is a Keen Kutter scout, a Kingston jack (gift from Charlie) and a Washington Jack. Third pic is a Schrade Cut Co, a Simmons whittler made in Germany and a Repeat Needham Bros.

Thank you very much Dave. My Father hurt his leg the day before the show and called to tell me he could not make it to the show. Sunday morning of the show he showed up although in a wheel chair.
He is too proud to have his picture taken of him in a wheel chair so he stood for a couple pictures. You can just make out the wheel chair just behind me.
The display of his fathers knives literally brought tears to his eyes. My Father is 85 and just lost his wife (my Mother) a couple weeks earlier.
The main reason I did this display this year is because I thought my Father or his brother (my Uncle) may not be around if I wait any longer. I built the display cases and the display the week before the show.
