Have any of you Midwest guys ever attended this knife show in Janesville, Wisconsin? Just wondering how it is?

I went last year-mostly to meet up with Tim Olt, which I had the opportunity to do. That was my highlight.

I am always open to highlight experiences. Not sure when they will post a list of table holders, but some pretty good stuff there. My opinion anyhow. It is the only real knife show that I do. Don't know that many 24HR guys go to it, but they should. Tim https://badgerknifeclub.com/show/index.shtml

Thanks for the replies, it sounds like a fun time. Probably a good way to discard some cash. 175 tables is a lot of knives.

Only 4 days away. Always a good time.

Hope you have a great show, Tim!
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

Had a great show. Got visited by Mully220 and LONEOAK.
Always nice to have face to face meetings. Thanks for stopping and for the purchases.
Thought the 11" of snow Friday night and Saturday would dampen the turnout, but plenty of knife nuts showed up.
Already signed up for next years table.
PS: Bill----Am I getting a pattern from you?????
Thanks Tim

Just before I left, I thought I had landed a good sized sheet of off white Westinghouse Micarta. Ended up a misunderstanding and not for sale. Bummer. Only downside of the trip. Well other than going around Chicago twice.

It was a pleasure meeting you Tim - highlight of the show for the wife and I. Your "Camp Buddy" pattern is a cutting beast and a great design for all around utility. Sorry you missed on the Westinghouse.
Life - and the good sense to live it!
