I wasn't able to get a table, they were sold out with a waiting list. So I am going to share one of Ryan Daniels tables. He will have the wooden/glass display cases with Tuna Valley / Titusville knives, and I'm sure I'll be close by. Say hello if you see me.

I've heard this show is a good blend of nice antique knives, along with customs, and a few moderns. It should be a great time.

Badger Knife Show
Ozzie Marie & Company will have a table there again this year
Rookie, if they keep the table assignments the same as last year, I'll be 6 feet away from you.

I was that weird guy slinking around from rust bin to junk bin bottom feeding on all the old rusty stuff...and buying books. What a dork!
I didn't take any pics because I didn't bring a bag (
) to carry all my purchases, and I was fumbling around so much I lost my phone!
But i didn't, it was actually in my pocket, but when i felt for it I thought it was this fixed blade I had just bought. But then this seriously kind fellow that I had just purchased a mini knife from called my phone from his own to help me find it. Then I felt my fixed blade vibrating! Too many knives in my pockets time to go!
Seriously had fun though, and brought home a great haul. Super nice people, and so many great knives that I felt like I was sprinting through with the 2 hours that I had to spend there.
Also checked out some nicer things too not just the unpriced bins. Found some great knives that are going into my rotation.
A special shoutout to the guy who gave me a free knife with his name on it, which was cool, but then also this rusty old kabar i was admiring. I was happy, but then he said he didn't just find it in the dirt. It was his Uncle's. Now I'm honored and privileged, and super happy.
Great show.

This case in the bottom picture. The man who owns it also has another case. There was a fox cutlery piece in it. Kicked myself all the way home for not buying it....
