October would be very bad for me.
Knob Creek (Fall) begins October 9, and I have vacation scheduled for that week. I'll spend less than last year (when I dropped about $3K at the Busse booth), but I know I'll be buying some things, including a GrooveMaster Garth told me he's making for me (I've envied Jeff Forbush's ever since I watched him buy it); it'll be arctic white with black hand-shaped handles. I spent $1500 this Spring at Knob Creek for 3 BC knives (A FSH, an NMSFNO, and a SAR5), 4 SY knives (2 BDLEs and 2 SoD LEs), and one pair of tigerhide M1911 grips (although I still don't own a .45).
Going to Knob Creek is expensive when one lacks impulse control. I insist on paying off the CC at the end of each month, so I'd really prefer S5LEs not go on the same billing cycle.
