Are you going to Blade Show ATL June 2nd-4th?

#1

Post by Candyman »

Was wondering if any forumites are planning to head out to ATL for Blade Show in 2 weeks. I’ll be headed out Thursday morning June 1st and will be there until Sunday. It’d be nice to meet some more folks this year and see old friends as well. Maybe do a knife pass around? I’ll have a few to show and tell with.

I'll be there Friday and Sunday. Early Friday I will be on the hunt and the rest of the time I'll just be perusing.

Never miss it. I'll be there at least for Saturday. Hoping I can get Friday off, but short staffed at work.

I'd love to... but almost 5000 miles as the crow flies and an ocean to cross is a bit much. ;)

Yes. I will be teaching a Blade U class Friday morning on testing of pattern-welded Damascus. Also Saturday at 1pm I will do a signing for The Story of Knife Steel at the Pops Knife Supply booth.

I’ll be there Friday & Saturday. The Spyderco booth is always one of the most popular and fun to visit. Cat wait to see the prototype’s for possible future models.

I’ll be there as I’m only an hour or two away from the venue depending on traffic. I look forward to Blade and the Spyderco booth all year. Spyderco will usually bring prototypes of upcoming models so you can see what’s in the pipeline, which is always fun to check out.

You think so?
This is what I have when it comes to boats... :open-grin (Actually only pic I could find of myself in my cheap rubber raft, quite a rare event ;) (Red lines: Don´t want my face necessarily on the internet))
I hope Lance / Surfing Gringo sees this, I am sure he´ll want my professional kayak! :winking-tongue

What's everyone looking for? Any hot models you are on the hunt to try out? I have some others I would like to handle, but as far as Spyderco models I would like to handle a Caribbean and a SpydieChef. I have held them before, but it has been awhile. I would love to find a Sliverax to handle, but that may be a harder one to find at the show.

Getting a glimpse of that prototype cabinet is one of the primary reasons why I want to make it to a Blade Show one of these of years! :respect :bug-white-red

Alright fellas! I head out tomorrow morning. I will be there around 12:00pm. If any of you folks are new to Blade Show please reach out through PM or this thread and I’m happy to help with any questions. If you are interested in an overview of how things work I can meet up with anyone to and walk you around and show you where everything is and how it will be set up for Friday.
If not I’m looking forward to seeing you guys soon!!
