Knife shows are always a fun time. Meeting old friends and making new ones. Seeing the wares of other makers and admiring the craftsmanship on their tables.

Blade show west is coming up quick and the last minute preparations are under way. It always seems that no matter how well one plans for a big knife show there is always something more that can be fit in at the last minute. From getting grinders ready to display and mid tech’s packaged up, to making sure the custom knives are tip top to show off. And then there is always the moment where you wonder if you can get one more custom knife made in time.

Time to pack the last bag and get ready to board the plane and have a fun time peddling my wares and hanging out with old and new friends!
