Shot Show 2015
I was just wondering if anyone will be attending Shot Show in Las Vegas at the end of the month? Would be great to see some photo's of the Spyderco stand.
Would it be possible for the Spyderco team (TazKristi :p) to maybe write a daily report thread or maybe share some photo's or video's of new models? Would love to see a round-table discussion between Sal, Eric, Michael Janich and any other designers hanging around about new models and steel choices if there is some down time :D

Re: Shot Show 2015
Wow, those guys are putting in 16 hour days and having to even "work" while trying to eat. Those tend to be grueling weekends for the people going ( I've worked in the business world and had to travel for weekend events) and I've always been amazed at how people can keep that up several times a year in addition to regular responsibilities. Sal, Eric, Joyce, Kristi and the rest must have pretty strong constitutions.
I'd doubt they would have much extra time for much added stuff. Only they know though. :)
They really are amazing folks.
Can you imagine what it would take stamina wise to run for president, for instance. :eek:

Re: Shot Show 2015
Yeah Joe, I'm sure it can get pretty insane at such a huge show with so many people wanting to see and try the new products. I just hope we get a few photo's of the Spyderco booth (official or not) so those of us who cannot attend can get a taste of the atmosphere. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing some of the new models photographed in hand which I think gives a better perspective than the catalogue shots. Personally I'm excited to see the Perrin PPT, Szabohawk, Ti/Elmax Squeak and how the anodizing on the Ti Pingo looks under the exhibition hall lights.The Mastiff wrote:Wow, those guys are putting in 16 hour days and having to even "work" while trying to eat.

I could be wrong, but I thought that the SHOT Show was only open to the venders and members of the media?

Re: Shot Show 2015
Just checked and you are right, it is restricted :eek:SpyderNut wrote:I could be wrong, but I thought that the SHOT Show was only open to the venders and members of the media?
If I ever get to Vegas, I'll have to miss out on the knives but at least there'll still be showgirls, lol :pThe SHOT Show is a trade only event. Attendance is RESTRICTED to the shooting, hunting and outdoor trade and commercial buyers and sellers of military, law enforcement and tactical products and services ONLY. The show is not open to the public, and NO one under age 16 shall be admitted (including infants).

Re: Shot Show 2015
I wish they'd do one of these in the New England or New York area. I don't see a lot of travel time in my future.
Of course, by that I mean one I could get into.

Start your own blog. Boom. You are an "accredited media outlet" and eligible for the show. :rolleyes:SpyderNut wrote:I could be wrong, but I thought that the SHOT Show was only open to the venders and members of the media?

Haha! Very good point. Technically, I used to be involved in news media... (providing one is willing to count my time spent being the copy editor for my college newspaper). :p :ophillipsted wrote:Start your own blog. Boom.

Re: Shot Show 2015
I think the Delica deserves a 45 minute video (with supplement videos). It's a pretty cool knife :cool:swigert wrote:MacLaren wrote:I would imagine your right.swigert wrote:He counts id say...as controversial as he can be and as much as people don't like him sometimes he still gets people into the industryMacLaren wrote:Its all who you know.

Re: Shot Show 2015
My first EDC was a cold steel voyager that felt good in hand but was too thick and hard to remove from my pocket. Nutnfancy videos convinced me to try a Delica and got me obsessed with obtaining a PM2. I'd say that worked out well for everyone. So I'm also not sure where all the TNP hate comes from, he has put out a ton of info. And unlike Joe Buck, you are never forced to watch him. #unnecessaryshotatjoebuckLiquid Cobra wrote:I think the Delica deserves a 45 minute video (with supplement videos).

However, Joe has his moments. Like when he dissed Johnny football. :eek:
Re: Shot Show 2015
Nutnfancy was a big reason I bought the Tenacious, which started me down the Spyderco path. His reviews at least have clear video, and he does go into the kind of detail a newbie can find useful.
