OKCA show
I made it down to Eugene for the OKCA show on Saturday. Best knife show I have ever seen... about 350 tables and I’d say almost a quarter of those had at least some switchblades if not a lot of them. I picked up about eight new autos including my first Latama. Best of all was first meeting Rainy Vallotton and getting to talk to him for awhile (mostly about East Coast mafioso ). Then was introduced to Neal Punchard and had a long and fascinating conversation with him about the future of switchblade forums, new makers, the age of collectors and all sorts of other switchblade stuff.. I was in heaven. I will definitely try to make both days next year.

Re: OKCA show
You scored some nice ones!
Re: OKCA show
Wow, nice haul, I'm guessing your wallet was a little thinner on the way home, one of these years i hope to get to one of the big shows.
Re: OKCA show
Dangit... I looked up this show and wanted to go... forgot all about it.... Great looking score!
Looking for those un-repairable, lost cause stilettos.
Re: OKCA show
I have to wonder how many ATM machines run out of money in and near such a show with the addictive nature of this hobby! lol

Re: OKCA show
Very Nice Score! Awesome Latama...Congrats! I always liked those Medici style Italians. AKC made some nice ones.
Re: OKCA show
If the ATMs are at the big shows... 1200+ tables, like my old local the fort worth one... they refill them multiple times a day.
