It was a good show today with very good attendance. Over 800 people were given sales brochures from H& H so that does not include wives and children that were there. I enjoyed watching the cutting competition very much. Ray Kirk kept people entertained with his forging demoes. People were able to see some very nice custom knives and to visit with the makers. We look forward to next year.

Knife show was very good.Bought 2 knives and some material from Jantz.Talked to several of the knife makers.First time I remember almost every parking spot taken at the H&H lot.

I'm sure you found some good makers to visit with. I've never found a maker who didn't like to visit about his work or the craft. Thank you for coming.

Good show, I got some new ideas for a few. I wish some of the makers would have had some blanks for sale though.
