Re: 2025 Factory Seconds Sale
Dang - I stopped by last week …. Driving to Glenwood Springs. ( from Minnesota) Would have loved to be there for this …
Great visit seeing the Holy Place - very friendly people. Met an employee from Minnesota and Hawaii- what a display of knives. Its handy to be able to size up the blades in person. Even watched an employee using the Sharp Maker.
We of course did some show and tell - I show you mine - you show me yours. One of the guys had no fewer than three knives on him. One of which was a Techno - Very cool.

Wait... what? You're were here?
Shoulda looked me up.
I'd have sprung for a beer and a Vegemite on toast.

Thanks Rusty. New grandchild meant my wife and I were only babysitting not travelling to Yosemite and Grand Canyon last year. I was hoping to get to the SFO to meet a Glesser or three. Or Spydie Nuts. But alas not this time.

Re: 2025 Factory Seconds Sale
This is still a bucket list event for me, maybe when I retire in 10 years. Please take pictures as always they are appreciated!
I may have to ask one of you guys going to be on the look out for a Kapara for me.

Re: 2025 Factory Seconds Sale
My son and I will be there.
Last year was our first, and we are very excited to participate again. Will be good to meet some other forum members as well. Looking forward to it!
I plan to get LOTS of pictures for those you are unable to join us.

Re: 2025 Factory Seconds Sale
I'm considering it. We'll see if my work schedule allows me to or not this year.
Re: 2025 Factory Seconds Sale
I booked my travel a month ago, glad they didn’t change the timing of it this year. Looking forward to hanging out with everyone!!

I love the UFO theme used for the sale promotion! Someone in design is having fun over there.
I can only imagine the amount of factory second 15v up for grabs! So sad I live far away.

Probably inspired by forumites referring to the SFO as the mothership.

Re: 2025 Factory Seconds Sale
EXCELLENT!!! We were wondering when you guys were gonna make it. My son was so excited, he kept asking me every day if there was an update to this thread on when the first attendees were in line. My wife can't believe it lol. Congrats!
I won't be able to join the fun until Friday morning w/ my son, but I took the day off so we'll at least get started earlier than last year.
Because I only work 17min from the SFO, I will at least take my lunch hour to stop by and say hi. Welcome back to Colorado!

Re: 2025 Factory Seconds Sale
As always, stories and photos from the event are appreciated by those of us that can't make it! Hope everyone has a great time and are able to snag a few off their wish list.
