I thought I would start a BLOG to let you all know about some of the Auctions that will be happening at the Blade Show. YOU NEED NOT BE PRESENT TO ENTER.
Each Item will tell you who to contact with your bid and information. These are not your everyday knives folks, take a look at the makers and who will be the recipient of the proceeds…

Wes Hanson said… Thanks, Jan.
Well in checking our KnivesLive contest for this week we have 7 qualifiers. Charles Sample appears 2X so I am figuring you meant someone else on the second entry. But I am posting this here so I remember! LOL

Godzilla Unchained said… Hi Jan,
Thanks for the invite to your last Friday night's get together with you and the other nice folks here at iKC and SMKW. It was another evening of good humor and a fun time.
Speaking of time, I spent some time watching your videos links tonight, including your National Knife Museum Tour, which I only now understand is under the roof of SMKW. With this in mind, and with the shared good will and hospitality of iKC and SMKW, I thought I should let you know that I opened up a credit line tonight at SMKW and purchased a few choice pieces of nickel silver bolstered, bone scaled, old school, slip joint cutlery. Thanks to you, Jan, for your introduction to the crew at SMKW. If you talk with them any time soon, please take the credit and let them know that it was you and iKC who made the introduction and facilitated the sale.
Cheers and best regards, GZ

I guess I should have joined as a collector, though my collection is small and includes no exceptional knives. My knife making has only one knife. I am hesitant to post a picture and run the gauntlet of opinion. LOL

Dan Reed said… Good morning Jan! It was so great to meet you and Don at the Blade Show. What a fantastic experience this year. We will be in touch and look forward to working with you guys. Tracey
Thanks for the comments on the "dawn of a new era" whittler pix. Exotic handled knives are difficult, especially in pearl, to photograph. I struggled with this one until I put it on a a black background. I talked to Ryan about this knife at our April knife show & he indicated they sold fast. I was fortunate to find that Frank (thru his ad on I Knife) had one for sale on his web site.
Meet me at the
8th Biennial Queen Show & Family Reunion 7/26 & 7/27
Pleasantville, PA
