Getting excited for BladeShow

[M4Life]

Hey guys so I’m going to be headed to Atlanta in June for blade show 2019! This is my first time attending blade show so let me know if you guys have any advice. Also If any of you guys will be headed to blade show as well, let me know what part you’re most excited for and which of your knives you plan to bring with you (I still haven’t decided which of mine I’m going to bring).

You’re going to have a blast. Bladw show is so worth it, especially for a first timer.

I'm thinking of going again this year, just to enjoy the prototype case!

(That's my excuse, anyways!)

It helps to get an early start only to wait in a really long line to get in. Once the doors open though, it'll be worth it. Wear comfortable shoes and take a small backpack to carry home all your loot.

I’m always excited about going to Blade. For me, it’s as much about the people and the relationships as it is about the knives. Heck, I’ve been to four shows in a row now and I have never bought a knife at Blade. I know, i’m weird. Haha. I enjoy the show more every year though because each year I have more friends and more people that I’m looking forward to seeing. As far as looking at knives, I find I spend at least half my time hanging around the Spyderco prototype case.

I couldn't go last year, first Blade Show I've missed since 2002. Looking forward to going again this year.

Cannot wait!!! My absolute favorite show of the year! My first show I was worried about not having enough money to buy what I wanted but I quickly found out that really wasn’t even my agenda. For me the fun of it is more just meeting people , checking out cool knives and food. My tips would be to do a lot of google searching on restaurants cause there are some amazing places to eat out there. I recommend Pappaduex’s. Be sure to go to the pit every night. Never know who you might see out there or what you might find after hours. I’ve got some pretty good deals in the pit. Parking is a pain throughout the show unless you get there early so if you do find a spot and then decide to go somewhere for lunch I’d recommend Ubering. Also in my opinion I don’t see a reason to try and hit every booth the first day. I like to try and hit my main spots I had planned on Friday and then hit half the floor. Then I do the other half on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing you guys there.
