Mr. Dale Atkerson gave me a nudge that there was the Professional Knifemakers Association show in Denver this weekend so I went to the city for a look, I'm closer than he is laugh
The makers are turning out some beautiful knives and I enjoyed seeing each mans take on a basic form.
I'm reminded why it's so hard to buy a knife for someone else, different people have such different tastes and each maker has a signature style.
Lots of Damascus blades and beautiful exotic handles. Some Tactical knives and forged kitchen knives a collection of Randall knives and a few Loveless clones plus the nicest people you'd ever want to meet.

Try as I might,I couldn't find anything I needed and I tried hard to spend a few bucks, nope, couldn't do it.

It made me realize how well the Campfire is connected to have the makers we have here!

Harvey may have been there, I don't recognize his knives by site, yet.
I don't believe Wayne was there, I have one of his and they are subtle but distinctive, I think I would have spotted them and bought another.

I have a match to shoot in the morning but I'll go back down after, if I can.

Aw Rats, Sorry I missed meeting you at the show Harv.
Slap me as I wander by next time!
I'll have to wear a 24HR Campfire hat when I'm at a show that draws from several states.

If Dale hadn't hollered at me I would have missed it and not known it, I didn't hear any local advertising for the show.
I'll be watching more closely next time.
