Amsterdam Meet 2016 Quick Recap – No Prototype Pics Yet

[Mr Blonde]

I’ll try not to gloat too much, but the meet was just as spectacular as it was last year! I counted around 70 new designs that Eric brought with him to the meet. From the prototype-filled table, I can publish images of about 25 knives. I took over 2,900 photos, I am an amateur after all and I only get one chance at these knives. With Ted’s help I was able to collect not only photographs, but all sorts of measurements too. I also brought a scale this year, so we got some weights for the new prototypes as well.

I’m sorry to have put everyone on a waiting period, but I do have to work and I will be at the IWA Show in Germany so I won’t be able to select, crop, edit and post images before March 9th. Despite my amateur efforts, I’m sure the wait will be worth it.

Pictured below are a few first impressions of the 2016 Amsterdam Meet!









More to follow on March 9th ….

Hi Mr. Blonde!


And THX Much for this short preview!

As last year, I was already thinking about a week-or-so time lapse before your sought after pics. :rolleyes:

So take your time, nobody is in a rush around here. :)

WTB, only Eric at the Meet this time? No Sal there?? :confused:
