Do not forget to stop by GEC. All are welcome, tours are from 8:30 to 12 then starting again at 1 to 2:30. Grab a coffee, pop, cookies, Cake and enjoy the tour. We are in the old cyclops complex building #2.

For those of us who cannot make it to the show, I expect full details on what I missed...

Thanks and have fun,

Sunburst

HI!

I will be there with my wife and good friend Mike L. aka galvanic 1882. WE will have a table set up.

Looking forward to seeing all of our friends there

I plan on going to GEC Friday mid-morning than on to the show at noon. PA,Ill bring that Penn Cutlery knife that I e-mailed you about awhile back.It will be nice to put some faces on the names. Mike

I may try to sneak in on Friday afternoon but it is more likely that I will be there Saturday morning. By the way PA are you going to have a few copies of your book with you? I'd like to buy one and have you sign it.
I don't have an AAPK hat but I'll probably have at least a few of my four kids with me. I'll be the guy over the knives

PA if you have any coppies of your book please bring a few I know I would love to get one, just look for the heavyset guy with a zz top beard and tattos and another guy with him and that will be us see you saturday.

Yes Pa. I am looking forward to seening you and your wife.
Can she sigh my book too ?
I am sure she worked on it too.

I will not have copies that I can sell as they haven't arrived yet. I will have several on display for you to look over. I will be taking orders at the show for those that are interested. THose will be autographed. My wife did help be considerably and probably should be signing before me!!!! Be sure to check out the dedication section. AAPK is well represented. HOpe to see you all there.

That would be building #2. We are actually on Caldwell street in the old cyclops steel facility, building #2. Caldwell is across from Burges park on central avenue. Do not use mapquest they have us listed wrong. Best bet is to call for directions 814-827-3411.

Hi kiferbros! Is your Smethport the one that Tony Foster sold? A swayback Jack??

No but I would be interested in seeing a pic of that one if any are floating around, here is the one we have. We will have that and a few of our more interesting pieces with us at Queen this weekend.

Once again I heard that GEC knives will not be allowed at the Queen show. Even if you are caught with one under the table, I'm guessing the sellers, you will be asked to leave. I don't know if that applys to buyers, I rather doubt it, I forgot to ask.

That makes 3 seperate sources I have heard this from. Of course I can't and won't divulge my sources.

will case, canal street,etc. be at the queen show?

I don't know. We'll have to ask those that attend. I was under the assumption that GEC was singled out. Every time I heard the story, I heard something new and I just forgot to ask. Lets hear from those in attendance, I heard it was for those that had tables.

kiferbros, here's the Smethport below.

PA, I will order a book from you next week when the dust settles!

YOu know that knife really belongs in my collection. NO one else would want it

Looking forward to meeting everyone

David

I can't make it as usual.

I'm excited for those who are going Hope everyone has a great time.

Good luck promoting your book PA! Good luck finding some great knives everyone! Bring plenty of money! Have a safe trip if you are traveling! Careful not to get pa knives too worked up with those Smethport knives!!! yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa!

Hukk,
I can tell you that our dealers are at the show selling our knives, I delivered 10 stag to one of them who was proudly displaying a sign with the GEC logo on it about 10 feet in the air.

Sorry to trash your thead kiferbros....................but.

That is one awesome Smethport there upnorth! The blades look 100% .

That's good! I am glad to have that one wrong, these are normally dead on resources. I heard many, well 3 times that this would not happen. I believe that this is the right thing to do as infighting between any of these companies would just be a shame and generally create a harmful environment in the long run. Wish I could be there.

Just got in from day 1 of Queen show. The feet are slightly sore, the wallet is slightly empty, my head is still spinning. I had the opportunity to meet PA Knives. He had 2 copies of his book there to tease us with!! He also endowed my 2 oldest boys with a knife. I would have to say he is a standup kind of guy!!

Saw Just Old 52 also, and a number of interesting people!! There were some truly awesome knives on display!!

What happened? Did GEC recruit some of their best people?
