Hello Spydie-fans, just a couple of days left and we will meet again in Amsterdam. Just wanna say that I am looking forward to coming sunday. Missed a couple of meets but sunday I am looking forward to see Sal and the family and their wonderous creations they will bring again. Handshaking will be with left this year since I severly cut myself in my right thumb with my GB2 last tuesday. Let me hear you if you are also looking forward to coming sunday! Glessers et all welcome!

I`m really looking forward to attend this sunday. Will people bring their knives to do a show and tell? I`m already thinking about what to bring. There are so many Spyderco models that I have never held I hope you all bring lots and lots of Spydies.

I can't wait myself. I'll be sure to bring a nice EDC to show off ;) as well as my camera and plenty of storage media.

Have Spyderco given you a list of which knives you can photograph? It would also be be pretty cool if you could take a few pics from inside the meet, just of all the people getting ready or at the end :)

As usual, looking forward to your nice pictures and specs. Please include blade length, blade thickness and weight.

I know this is a long shot, and could potentially be problematic but if anyone that is attending is on Instagram it would be fun for the rest of us if you could post some shots throughout the meet with a tag so that we could find it. These shots don't have to include the knives, but would help give the rest of us a sense of the atmosphere etc. Maybe include shots of Sal and the gang, some designers and forumites?

How about...

or something like that.

This would be a very cool thing if someone could handle doing it! Some pics to look at while Wouter works his magic :D

Looking forward to see you all again....

Mrs Demoncase is tagging along with me this year to make a long weekend of it, but won't be in the room at the meet
(She's had a steely-eyed look for the last few weeks and a very firm list of things to see in the Stedelijk and Van Gogh museums...This is after I've promised to spend Saturday in the Rijksmuseum together, I might add:))

I hope you've got a new notepad and several pens :p Following Tvenuto's "Royale with Cheese" thread last year is a hard act but I'm sure you'll be well up for it :) A voice recording app on your phone might be wise :D

Definately looking forward to the meet! It's not that easy finding a single person to talk to in real life who shares our hobby... Having a day where there's a room filled with fellow knifenuts, my favorite knife brand's prototypes and some of the kindest people I know is like a second Christmas! :D
Can't wait to see you all again and make it a great day!

Not sure how many times you'll want to hear "Oooh. *snick* Cool!" in a broad Midlands accent on such a voice recording. :D
