I hope to be going on Friday the 4th. If not Friday then Sunday morning early. Great show, picked up several nice knives at a great price last year.

I'll be out there on Saturday morning! Anyone gonna have a table set up? I am just headed out there to buy...I hope...LOL

Going to miss this year . I'll be in SC. Went last year. It was my first dedicated 'Knives Only' show. I met Tom there and he led me astray. I overdosed on Canal Street. VERY persuasive those folks from Drop Point Hunter!
Definitely a great regional show. ENJOY!

Ole Tom will corrupt a feller. He's just that way.

Let me clarify what Randy is talking about above......

Tom led me astray....meaning that I introduced him to Michael at Droppointhunter and a quality made USA KNIFE.....

He and his lovely wife took it from there and bought several Canal Street beauties....

LOL

Like I said..................

That said - I will be there - and Tom always brings out the best in me

I do not consider this leading a person astray.....I consider this "Putting a person on a righteous Path"

LOL......Hey, it's my story and I get to tell it the way I want....LOL

Phil....settle down there....hahahaha

Looking forward to seeing you again Michael!

Had a great time at the show on Friday! Wasn't really looking for anything in particular except farmer jacks for Lyle (asked but no one had any, bud) but ended up buying a USA era 6202 1/2 Case barehead jack, 2 4-line Camillus knives and a quart of honey. Had dinner at Edelweiss (thanks for the recommendation, Mike!) in Greenville, VA; excellent food, beer and desserts. Stayed overnight in Staunton, got up early and skied at Wintergreen yesterday on their last day of the season. Then I met up with family and friends at last night's Nats/Braves game. Taking it easy today, wish I was back at the show looking at more sweet, antique knives.

Past through Harrisonburg today about 3:15pm, north bound coming home from SC. Too late to stop. Hope anyone who attended had a great time and found some great knives.

Weekend was not lost though. Scored a Queen Robeson Gunstock off Ebay. Sure arrive mid-week.

This show is coming back around on April 3-5, planning on going. Anyone else going?

I may be headed for the Oregon show, hauling a freezer to Alaska at about that time. True....

Keep looking buddy.

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.

Lyle, I'll have you on speed dial in case I spot something.

In 2 Saturdays, anyone else going?

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

Tom

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 .

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.

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.

I just wanted to give this post a bump . Be there if at all possible . This is a very good show with something for all interests .
Bob

Glad you're going to be there this year, Bob. I'll be looking for you.

I will be there Fri. and Sunday. Great show 200

My schedule has changed. Going on Friday now.

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!
