Re: Shenandoah Valley Knife Show
I will be there on Saturday! Three hour drive, but worth it. I usually buy several CSC knives from Michael, however, he won't be there this year.
I'll still be there looking for some quality Schrades

Re: Shenandoah Valley Knife Show
I'll be there when the doors open at 2pm on Friday......hoping to add some Scouts to my collection or some Landers, Frary & Clark's......was hoping to make the trip to Eugene this year but it's just too cost prohibitive with two in college.

Re: Shenandoah Valley Knife Show
I'm shooting for 9:00 Saturday when they open. Might be wearing a red Case t-shirt if it's warm. Introduce yourself if you see me.

My schedule has changed. Going on Friday now.drm1017 wrote:Planning on going to the Saturday show. Trying to save some $$$ for a possible gun purchase so I'm going to take some Canal Street knives and a Remington Bullet knife along and try my hand at trading. Should be a learning experience.

Re: Shenandoah Valley Knife Show
Spent 3-hours at the show yesterday with my lovely wife (who drove both ways I might add) who attended her first knife-only show. In the first 15-minutes I purchased 4 Landers, Frary & Clark folding knives for less than 50% of the asking price and nothing after that. I saw a few MOP's from Dr. Emmberton's collection that caught my eye but the prices were out of my range. The only official Scouts that I was interested in were on display-only and no amount of pressure was going to have them coming home with me. I will post pictures after my daily chores and Easter preparations are completed.
The best news was that this morning as I was preparing the haul for the safe my wife said to me, "I now understand your passion and I think I've been bit by the same bug".........GOD HELP US - SO MUCH FOR THE RETIREMENT FUND!

I had the pleasure of meeting Bob on Friday. We had a great conversation. A real gentleman.robinetn wrote:See y'all there . I was only able to get 2 tables , but I'm hoping to come up with a couple more by show time .

His wife and my wife also seem to find some things in common. We are looking forward to seeing them at the Mason Dixon show in Hagerstown, MD at the end of the month.
I also had nice conversations with two custom makers. First one was Rick Simpson and his son of Palmetto Blades. I really liked Rick's work and his son Caleb is also making some knives. Both were super friendly and very engaging, but I was very impressed how Rick's son greeted and talked to the people who stopped at their table. I was serious thinking of buying one of his knives, which would have been my first custom blade, but my wife had spent some of my stash on a cane with a silver handle.
The other custom maker was Tom Heard of Turning Point Knives. He is a retired police officer from Northern Virginia. My wife and myself had actually met Tom 2 years ago at our first SVKS show when my wife bought one of his custom ink pens. His knife making skills have definitely evolved since then. His designs might be considered somewhat, and I'm paraphrasing his our words, "quirky"! He has real artistic skills which he incorporates into his knives.
And lastly, a shout out to Findlay Lotts of Spottswood Farm Store Cutlery Company and his friend Randy Sutton. Both are great guys to talk to. I believe Findlay is fairly new to the knife selling business. He had a nice selection of Bokers and CSC.
I bought two knifes, a Case Seahorse Whittler and a nice German Eye #85 penknife. I'll post them later.

Re: Shenandoah Valley Knife Show
Bob's a great guy.
Picked up another Barnett Tool Co. pliers/hoof pick/knife, a Marble' screwdriver set from a guy who came all the way from Michigan, an Italian switch for a bud who's getting married and 5 Boker Great American Story knives I didn't have. Now I just need 4 more to complete my set.

Re: Shenandoah Valley Knife Show
I didn't get my postcard reminder but this show is just around the corner. It kicks off knife hunting season for me.

Re: Shenandoah Valley Knife Show
Wasn't really looking for anything but ended up with 3 finds; Schrade USA linoleum knife, a pearl Keen Kutter pen and a Hammer Brand shell switchblade. Yes, my collecting is all over the place.
Why is it so hard to capture that "fire" in pearl?
