Hi Steve, my flyer for the Lewisburg show says Sat Feb 23 9-5 and Sun Feb 24 9-3. Now this is a flyer I got at the last year's show but I think it is accurate. I sure hope so since I have reserved motel rooms for two days. I have my usual two tables reserved and hope the weather cooperates too. I hope to see a bunch of you there. Nothin' like a knife show to offset the winter doldrums!!

I hope to be there but there are other things going on that may interfere with getting to Lewisburg this year. Probably Saturday if I can get there.

Gene [Gunsil] thank you for the correction of dates and times. Hope to see you there. If it snows I’ll have to stay home and shovel sidewalks.

My brother Gary and I went yesterday. What a great venue!. Not a large show but well attended and there is a restaurant attached that provides really good food. We visited with Gene and he surprised me with a birthday gift of Ka-Bar "Old Boy" model, stainless steel blade with stag handles! WOW! Very generous gesture Gene and thanks, again. Made my day to say the least. I'll post pics in the Ka Bar section. :D :D

Saw a really interesting Ka-Bar there that a dealer had. Kicking myself for not snapping pictures. It was a dry suit deep sea type diving knife with a bronze tubular sheath. The knife had a wood handle, sort of turned like a chair leg attached to a spear point, dagger like blade with saw teeth on one side, regular blade on the other side. No obvious military markings. It was a large knife, at least a foot long, maybe a little longer.

My brother ended up buying a Ken Stiegerwalt lockback folder with worked bolsters, file work on the spring and stag covers. Really nice looking knife.
