Not only does a Busse Combat crew come to town, but the they usually bring a wider selection of knives to Knob Creek than to other shows. Blade seems to be more about new products and "shaking hands with the man", but KC is all about the steel. We frequently get several older models, presumably leavings from short runs (possibly military?), that other shows don't see, or at least didn't until last year when more of that also seemed to get around. I could be wrong, but it seemed like Easton got a similar mix, and that Blade West did pretty well too. Regardless, there's never been a shortage of steel at Knob Creek -- if you can make it, you will not be disappointed.
