FIrst "day" of the show was fun. Got a big hug from Missy of Cas Ibera, hung out with Breed and Wheeler, spent some time with Jerry Skelton(possibly best switchblade dealer in the U.S.), got to play with Paragon's new giant Cupid OTF, thanked John W. Smith for helping sell one of his knives a buddy of mine had to earn some money with, looked through a dozen piles of damascus billets, tested Cas's new "combat waki" (nice), laughed while Bill Wiggins told a story about having run down a thief stealing a couple of BP rifles as Ethan Becker doubled over in pain laughing so hard over the image of some stupid meth head having a 300lb blacksmith park a 4-wheeler on top of him, took Walter Brend and his wife to dinner at Littons (Walter almost teared up at the first bite of strawberry shortcake).
Back to the show tomorrow.
