Perhaps a little, but, only if (when in his presence) you get the feeling that John Stamos could easily kick your ass. :mrgreen:

..... Raven and his significant other are super nice folks and I was glad to get to meet them. :thmbup:

It was great seeing some of the Kershaw faithful at the show. :thmbup:

The numbers have been growing every year, so I'm expecting a real turnout next year. Maybe I'll have to make up something real special for all regulars who attend. A little motivation never hurts. :mrgreen:

If my wife has her company's higher education accounting conf. at the same time again next year (in Roanoke) I might have to go there with her, collect Brad and head down to ATL. (Thomas, sorry I sent this post to you in a PM.... I am operating on very little sleep at this point.... turns out that Blade Show does not exempt you from the Honey-Do list :eek2:

If any of you have any more pictures (blurry or otherwise) please post them.
I'll take anything I can get.

Anybody come through NC on the way? Maybe I can get my dad to go, he Is always pilfering/showing off my Kershaw's, he wanted to trade the Deilca I bought for him for my Zing... (Thanks Spiral!)

Is there a way/website I could find more Info on BLADE? Prices? Dates?

By the way (question for Thomas) Is there any way Kershaw could make a 3.5-4.5 Inch single-bladed (locking)folder as a keychain knife? I have wanted one for while, I carry a little blue SAK with the basic things but It's not cutting It... literally. I have thought about a Spyderco Ladybug but I would like to stick with Kershaw.

A 4.5 inch keychain knife? That's a big key chain knife!

Take a look at this thread.....nice little keychain knife right there.

I was thinking that Is big till I actually thought about It, Ladybugs are 4 3/8" and I love the one I handled. I think that knife In the link Is cool, but I don't like the see-through scales, I think I would find myself opening and closing It just to watch.

I think too much...

Thanks for some more pics, Dustin! :thmbup:

Aside from all of the drool worthy folders, I really like the kitchen knives with the hammered texture blades, and what look like Cocobolo handles!! Very nice looking set.

The G&G Ti lock looks really cool too, even though it's not from Tualatin :mrgreen:

Does that blue titanium arm flex upward to release the lock? It looks really interesting.

Damn these are great! Thanks a bunch guys. My head is spinning.

Somehow I missed Gavin's table :dang:

There is way too much to see and do at the show. Next year, I guess.

SV, you like that Speedform just a little, don't you?

I love that thing!! It's a good thing Thomas kept taking it away from me...........
It might have fell in my pocket. :para:

Jonnymac44 · **Posted:** June 7th, 2010, 6:39 pm

Thanks for the clarification, SV :thmbup:

Wow, what a sweet batch of new blades!!

Thanks for the pics!

morrowj · **Posted:** June 7th, 2010, 6:50 pm

Looks like a fun time was shared by everyone. Congratulations Thomas and the gang at Kershaw for the wins! :mrgreen:

Kershaw Tilt = American made knife of the year

RJ Martin DRT = Best Tactical folder design

No wonder the collaborations between Kershaw and RJ are always so awesome!

On another note. The CRK/G&G Hawk collaboration looks very cool. I'd definitely want to check that out up close and personal.

I can not wait for the release of the ZT 0550. That thing is going to be a workhorse. need.... one..... now.....

Thanks guys for all the pictures. Makes me feel a little bit better about not attending.

John Stamos ... :dang:

??? Actually I get that a lot along with looking like Lou Diamond Phillips, but with a lot more tattoos :mrgreen:

.

The Blade Show was amazing and it was Great to talk with Thomas, SV and daughter, and to meet SA and his brother. SA is one helluva a Nice Guy. As Always ...Thomas is just Super Cool. The fiancee' went to the Kershaw booth empty handed and ended up leaving with 3 Kershaws. One a Volt II that Thomas gave her straight from RJ Martin's pocket. BTW, SV had been admiring this model and when he reads this will probably develop a "twitch" :lol:

.

You gents are in for some Superb Products from Kershaw/ZT. I'll tell you the Hinderer ZT is going to be on just about everyone's list of "Have To Have"!!! It's a BEAST of knife and comfortable in hand. I can give a description, but it wouldn't do it justice. It was great talking and meeting with the Kershaw forumites :thmup2:

.

The fiancee' and I also had a GREAT time hanging and speaking with Gavin Hawk (Tesla Rules ...he'll understand if he reads this). RJ was a pleasure to speak with as always :thmup2:

.

Thomas, Thank You for what you do, your professionalism, and Generosity ...You Rock Thomas!!!

Take Good Care and Be Safe Always.

What twi twi twitch?

The Volt II is a bad ass blade. I can't wait to get my hands on one that
I can keep without it constantly being removed from my hands. :dang:

EDIT: Had a brain fart. The Speedform II is the one I'm twitching for, so........

Also, it was great talking to you again. I'm already pumped for next year. :danceshout:

I really do hope more of you guys make it next time around. :thmup2:
