OKCA show April 12, 13 and 14
I guess Dale did not have time to start this thread. I am checked into my motel in Eugene, going to bed shortly to get a good night's sleep. Will post show pictures tomorrow night.

Re: OKCA show April 12, 13 and 14
Thank you Dan for starting this thread!
I have been getting ready for the show for a month and a half, and I could use another month and a half!
I will be down in the morning to set up. I was hoping to get there about nine but I'm not sure I'm going to make it that early.
I guess we'll wait and see.
Looking forward to seeing you Dan and all the other guys. Do you know who else came this year?
Duffer we are going to miss you! Hope you make it again next year.
I have some AAPK T-shirts, so come on by if you don't have one or if one of your kids would like a shirt.
My table number is O-10.
Y'all come by now!

Re: OKCA show April 12, 13 and 14
Then some pics of a Sunday knife display which is always nice to see. Lot's of bowie displays and sale tables with bowies. Will take lot's more pictures tomorrow.

Re: OKCA show April 12, 13 and 14
Thanks Dan.
Re: OKCA show April 12, 13 and 14
I hope Dan was able to get some pictures on Saturday, because I was not able to get a single picture.
I was very busy from opening until close, 8 AM to 5 PM. My wife was unable to be there but my brother came in and helped me from about 11:30 to 3 PM, without his help I would've never made it!
I think this is the best show I have ever had! Often on Friday, the setup day, I don't sell anything. This was a business setup day I have ever had and Saturday was crazy busy. We are leaving soon to go down to the show, thank the Lord my wife is going with me!
Hopefully I will be able to get out and find some more goodies. I did pick up a few nice things, mainly because people bring them to me. With my wife to help me I am hoping to find some treasures to share with y'all and maybe a few pictures to.
This has been probably the busiest show I've ever had.
I wish y'all could have been here!

Re: OKCA show April 12, 13 and 14
Thanks for the photos Dale and Dan ... One of these years I need to make this event ... one of the really awesome aspects of this show seems to be the multiple displays - I know the show this year has one fantastic Bowie display with not only the Forrest knife but lots of Price and Will & Finck plus others of 19th century American makers!! I assume some of those knives were Levine’s? Curious to know who put together that display which is no doubt museum quality!!

Well, Alyson and I made it home, with no problems. It was a great show!
Alyson was loading the car while I made one last trip to our table to get my stool and the last tote. When I got to the car she was talking to a lady I was really disappointed that she did get there before the show closed. She said "I got here at 3 o'clock and they would let me in the door." Then she says, you don't have any Kershaws do you?" She put a severe dent in my lower in my less expensive Kershaw inventory! And she and my wife had a nice time chatting, so it was a win-win for everyone!
I will try to get some pictures taken the next few days of all the treasures I came home with. I got a number of project knives including a Case Bowie & several Western fixed blades for restoration. I also met a guy that used to work at the Western factory, so that was very informative!!
Well, I think I'm going to go to bed now and sleep till Wednesday!

Re: OKCA show April 12, 13 and 14
I am now half way home. My laptop will not recognize my SD card. Will have to try on my desk top at home. It should work there but it will not be until Wednesday evening before I get the rest of my pictures posted. It was a very good show!
Dan
Re: OKCA show April 12, 13 and 14
Safe drive home Dan .. Hope your other photos come out - Good luck! By chance do you know who put together the Bowie display? The photos I have seen showed extraordinary Bowie examples ..

A few treasures from the 2019 OKCA show -
The 2019 OKCA Club Knife -
A Bob Lum Spyderco I did some trading for the nicest Spyderco I have ever seen and my new EDC -
A Gerber I haven't seen before, couple of nice Westerns, a nice Camillus life raft knives, and a Schrade Marlon Spike knife.
Some nice Multi-tools -
A Moore Maker, a very nice Craftsman made by Western and a Gerber boot knife.
I have more pics I will most likely post in the proper forums.

Re: OKCA show April 12, 13 and 14
Dale you gathered up quiet a few there. I bet you sold a bunch too. A lot of people pleased to have a knife with Orvet on the blade.
Re: OKCA show April 12, 13 and 14
Nice haul, Dale!
I am back home and my SD card is working in my desktop. If I don't get pics posted tonight, then tomorrow night for sure.
Here is one of knowtracks, holding the California style bowie he received as an award for his display of Schatt and Morgan knives.

Re: OKCA show April 12, 13 and 14
O.K.C.A. member Kenny the One arm here , stuck here in South Carolina. I ordered the last Club knife on line. It won't be long , I will have my club knife in my left hand soon. I bought an American Whittler SFO Allegheny GEC#97 Antique yellow jigged bone knife with a large hounds tooth shield. I got two Sambar Stag Allegheny knives on the way. I'll end up with 8 or 9 GEC#97s in my collection. All these knives will look cute together. I can open these big knives between my knees without breaking my thumb nail. "Smooth like butter !"

Re: OKCA show April 12, 13 and 14
Another great show, great to see old familiar knife pals and displays and some notables and the haul Danno and I photographed together, along with Orvet Dale, Gunstock Jacks Barry, Charlie Campagna, and great visit to Oregon.
