Well, its 2 weeks away and Im getting pretty pumped about it... If anyone can make it there I hope to see ya...
People im definitely going to yammer at:
Brad Duncan- If I can resist his knives, it will be a miracle
Allen Elishewitz- Native TX.. like his stuff
J. Bruce Voyles - Hes pretty legendary...

well guys, Im off to the show today, w/ a pocket ful of money soon to be empty and filled w/ knives. They have an auction at 730 on sat nite and I hope not to be carried away, but who am I kidding. Ill take the camera and post pics when I get back. Should be a blast.

Have fun Benny! You deserve it, if for nothing else, procuring and distributing the Leverlettos. You did send mine, didn't you???? Nevermind, they're here. I was just practicing being impatient in case I ever need to be.
Rats...

Well, I got to have a great time, picked up a really awesome Brad Duncan whiplash boot knife at a live auction for 100 less than retail. Also got to meet Brad and talk w/ him for a bit
I strongly urge yall to check out

it was a relatively small show, but Joe and Mel Pardue were there, and so was Allen Elishiwitz (sp)
There were alot of CASE knives there...ALOT... and missaman woulda liked some of the american switches.
Weird experience for me there was that I showed off my sandshark and only 2 people knew what it was.
Ill post a few pics later on.
