Amsterdam Meet 2016 Quick Recap – No Prototype Pics Yet
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:

2900 photos and an amateur? Hehe.
Can't wait too see your shots though I'm sure they will be worth it. Thanks matey.

Excellent! This will certainly tide me over until 3/9. By the way, I like the looks of the Wharncliffe Dragonfly2. Very cool. Thanks much, Wouter!
