Who is attending Blade Show? It’s the Shot Show for knives, largest in the US, maybe the world:
Member bgoode will be there with his own table to sell top shelf custom knives, 19G
I have some knives to sell, figured that would be the place to do it, so what the hell.
Maybe we can get an M4C meet up happening?
Been to it almost every year for the last 8 or 9 years. Will be there again. I’m usually done after 2 to 3 hours, that’s walking EVERY aisle and repeat some. I don’t stop at a table/booth unless something interests me.
While it might be the biggest blade related show in the Galaxy and is the “shot show” for blades, it’s nowhere near the size of SHOT. It usually took me 10 - 12 hours (spread over 3 days) to walk all the aisles at SHOT. It’s more like the NRA Annual Convention for knives. It’s not that big (square foot wise).
I’ve bought some custom or new model folders and flip it the next day to make some extra cash.
Anyway, I’ll be there, may pick up an Al Mar ultralight model or some sort.
I’ll be there behind table 19G. Here is a look at some of what I’ll have.
Stop by and say hello if you are at the show. Always fun to meet and shake some hands.
Nice!
Nice. I’m a sucker for a deep bellied skinner.
I’m not saying it’s equivalent in size, but equivalent in its importance to the respective industries. I have never been.
I know what you mean. Was trying to paint a picture of the scale of the show so you won’t be disappointed. Some years I was actually let down by the show. Last year was pretty good. One time I met Dick Marcinko, we talked for a few minutes, reminiscing about a place we both were at a long long time ago.
Pretty sure I know where that place is.
If you go to Blade this year, you need to post some pics of the cool stuff you see.
Been so long since I’ve seen a blade that is interesting to me.
RIP Jody Samson.
Dang it man, it would be a pleasure to own one of those. Looks like it would work really nice on a moose.
I will be there, already got the tickets for me and the Mrs. Will try to take some pics, at least of what I’ll be getting.
Schweet! I will look forward to it. Nothing warms my heart more than nice pics of blades and guns.
Guy who made this blade for me will be at booth 14K:
We can meet up at that booth
Smells like a plan!
14K looks like a table, not a full booth, according to the map of the floor.
Makes sense. He’s a one man shop coming from Germany.
Wow, long trip and lots of expenses. I wonder how much those tables cost for the show.
BTW, the air conditioning system of the Galleria sucks. They can’t keep up with the full load of packed house, so it will be a little warm and stuffy in the main room. There’s very little food vendors. There’s a Chickfilet cart that have limited supply of sandwiches and fries. Subway is downstairs by the sometimes work, sometimes not working escalators. There’s a fake Chinese fast food (fake as is slow and not so good). There’s a sit down restaurant that’s not so fast. I guess I don’t have much good to say about the food amenities at the Galleria. There’s enough food to fill you up until you’re ready for a real meal away from the show. Parking is at a premium. Oh, and the mall across the street is crime ridden :). If you have your FL carry permit, I suggest you bring it and your blaster.
Where are you staying?
At the Courtyard Atlanta Cumberland Galleria. It’s less than half mile it says, so if weather allows, will walk it. If not, Uber it. I was gonna drive from FL, but I hate long drives and went the pussy route, and got a plane ticket. End of the day, there’s not actual $ savings in the drive, so flying.
