The Scrap Yard shipment for last year's Blade West show fell behind schedule and wasn't ready in time. However, the Scrap Yard selection at last year's Fall Knob Creek was much more extensive than normal because we got the knives intended for KC plus what had originally designated for Blade West -- I ended up buying 26 knives at KC, 24 of them were Scrap Yards. So, I am confident that Dan (and crew -- assuming there's a Scrap Yard production crew other than Dan) will work to ensure last year's Blade West Scrap Yard shortage was a one-time issue.

From what I hear, Blade West smaller than Blade (East) or the Spring/Fall Knob Creeks for Bussekin knives. However, it's the best (if not only) opportunity for folks west of the Mississippi, particularly those in the North West, to buy in-person so it'll probably grow.
