With Grices, it really doesn't matter if you're a day, week or several months ahead, it's usually busy. That said, I made one trip over there a few years back because I discovered my rain pants were now fit for church,(ie, holey) and didn't think the crowd was bad at all. I've seen worse, especially for the shooters sale.
Can't recall seeing the knife guy either but I wouldn't have been looking for him, I sharpen my own.
