Private Klink is right,everyone can do it and enjoy it on a budget.This was my first Blade.I used points built up during the year with Holiday Inn Priority Club. Three nights free at Crown Plaza. I watched the forums and got my VIP passes from New Graham Pharmacy. 2 people all 3 days for $10.00. One extravagance was the meal at Fogos but it was with the entire Busse family where I got to meet everyone and set the tone for the weekend.They welcomed this newbie like one of the family. Bought my first knife of the weekend there,a Busse Custom Shop Cultie which I sold saturday morning and bought one of the competition finish SARsquatches that everyone is having a fit over. Good move huh? Bought my Scrap Yard Birddog from Dan friday morning and love it,love it,love it. Also pick up a Dan Koster Nessmuk which is sweet and a Blind Horse Tiger Knapp, you guys need to check them out. For $550.00 I brought home 4 very nice knives. I will never spend what some guys spend on knives but I try to spend smart. Next year I will step it up a notch. Sorry for getting long winded.
