Thanks, Lyle. We saw 1 old Farmer's Jack, but it was a Schrade and I think you have plenty of those.

A Wostenholm IXL horseman's knife with all the attachments for $85, Challenge at the bottom and Russell spatula from Barry, Keen Kutter at the top from Gene. Barry gave me a Regent dog/boatswain's whistle I forgot to picture.

Way to go, John, nice array of knives, and I am familiar with all the names of the makers.

I figured you were looking, thanks. I think that spatula is

Thanks, gents!

I hope others made out pretty well, like Herb and I did. I did pass on a Canal Street Trapper in blue rope jigging that I might regret. It was just shy of $200, but I do have the Schrade version and a Stockman (the ones never released) in blue rope, plus a couple Red Trout knives.

We saw Gene, Barry, George, Guy and a couple other AAPKers. Ryan Daniels and crew weren't there yet.


* side note- the Mason-Dixon show is now in State Line, PA, in October.

Nice knives!

Thanks, Dimitri.

Was a very good Show got to meet a few of our AAPK members and put a face with a name

Was great to meet you Gary! Good to see John (red rider), Herb, and VA Guy too! I was glad to attend and saw a lot of folks I know who aren't members here. Sadly, Barry, myself, and Jack Peters all came down with covid, I hope many others didn't get it, I'm really sick.

My Pleasure to meet y'all. Sorry to hear of your sickness hope you feel better soon

Sorry to read that, Gene, get well soon!

Thanks guys!

My thoughts and prayers are with you Gene. Amazingly I am still testing negative even though I was sitting right next to you for a while. I just got done restoring 2 from the bag of goodies that you gave me. I found some jigged bone in my stash for the little sleeveboard Catt that I think suits it quite well. Get well soon buddy!

Looking awesome, Herb. I think you still have some projects to go.

Thanks Herb! Catt looks great, it was in fine shape except for the gassing cell. Barry showed symptoms a day before me so maybe he got it first. He was coughing Sat night, I didn't start coughing until Sunday night. We'll never know where it came from. Could have been the show or we were all out for dinner Friday night. Great seeing you and I'm glad I finally found some knives for you.

Great work.

Thinking of all the sick folks.

Thanks Lyle! I was not well enough to see most of the show but I knew others were looking for knives for you. I didn't see the guy who bought the IXL from me.

10 days to be exact. But who's counting.

Another one counting here ... 9 days now!

I wish I could go sounds like a big show, but it is 421 miles though; I am saving my trip going to the GEC Rendevous in June.
I probably will make the Pikeville, and Knoxville shows.

Bump

Get well soon wishes, Gene!
Some awesome finds, redrider and Herb!
For three straight years I’ve been trying to get to that show and something always comes up! Lord willing and the creek don’t rise, I DO plan to be there next year!

Thanks tvic! I got covid at last year's show, was over it in two weeks, hopefully don't get it this year! Hopefully Barry and myself get there Thursday evening and it will be another great show.

I'll be wearing my black AAPK t-shirt Friday morning, be sure to introduce yourself. Of course I know a group of regulars- Gene, Barry, VAGuy, Ryan Daniels, Carl, and a few others. Looking forward to seeing a good turnout.
