Dale, I hope you were in your truck . If not it would have taken 2 trips just to get all that home. I too have a fascination with rope knives. (and pruners, and Dr's knives, and whittlers, and EO's, and ........) You picked up some beauties.

Thanks Floyd, I do like the old ones with lots of character!
I had to trade in the Silverado as Alyson had a lot of difficulty getting into it, as the chemo left her pretty weak. We got a 2020 ST6, kind of a SUV but with a third-row seat. Both the second & third row seats fold flat so there is lots of cargo space, 6' in length. I am also getting smarter in my old age and taking less to the show, especially since I didn't have Alyson there to help this year. I even managed to take all the stuff out to the car in one trip after the show, a first for me!

Man I-Man, I wish this show wasn't 30+ hrs. away... I would love to see some of your knives up close and in person.

I wonder if it would make sense or be worth the trouble for Bryan to add a new "TOPIC" section under "GENERAL KNIFE RELATED FORUMS" for "Upcoming Knife Shows". I would think that would be a great place to post threads to inform/remind members and post information & pictures. This may have been brought up before and may not be worth the trouble, but I for one, would definitely follow this thread and enjoy reading the posts and looking at all the photos from the different shows.

There might be one, just didnt find one when searching. Good idea, Thanks. I'll post pics when I'm there.
