It's hard to judge the effect the economy is having on shows from my POV, Bob. I'm not nearly as active a cutlery purchaser as you are. But I've got to believe that you're correct about it being a buyer's market out there. I won't have an opportunity to judge that in Atlanta this year. But it turns out there's a custom knife show happening right in my own backyard at the same time Blade is running. (Guess some knifemakers don't feel like making the trip to Atlanta.) Attendance and parking at my local show are free. So I figured I'd go and do a little G2 to see how the knifemakers are getting by.
[censored] Bruce.........I sure wish I was down there as I would go with you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. I LOVE knife shows and especially the customs <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Next year-I WILL be at Blade and add to the sales a tad. I tend to keep a few custom guys busy year round it seems. You guys need to get up this way and help test these in real " Bush" conditions. Looking forward to your report from that show as well as a report from Atlanta this year <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. I am feeling a bit left out to say the least <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. Need to know what Dan is releasing so I can get my proxy going <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
