Anyone going to Blade 2010. I have the wife convinced, so it looks like I will be going this year. Anyone else?

<-This guy.

I'll be the one hogging the concept/prototype side of the Spyderco booth.

What day are you going...or all three. I will probably be going on Saturday, because that Sunday is the last day of the Ren Faire. I would love to meet up with you for lunch or dinner.

Spoonrobot · **Reply #3 on:** February 24, 2010, 03:31:14 AM

Depends. Last year I got a VIP pass so I planned on going Friday and Saturday but was only able to go Saturday. If I can get a VIP pass this year I'm definitely in for Friday/Saturday since I'd like to see some of the seminars as well as handle all the knives on my "Buy" list.

I'd be in for meeting up, I hear the Waverly hotel has a really cool bar. David always offers as well but I never get around to coordinating with him so we always miss each other.

We could organize something a little closer to showtime, see who else is making an appearance.

That would be cool. Marie said she wants to go to see what all the fuss is about. There are tons of restaurants around there, so we could figure something out.

Are you guys talking about the Blade Show at the Galleria in Atlanta?

I live 15-20mins away from there

Not sure yet if I will be in the States at that time, but if I am, count me in

Zack · **Reply #6 on:** February 24, 2010, 05:30:10 AM

Dude I live in Cartersville, where abouts are you?

East Cobb (County)

Zack · **Reply #8 on:** February 24, 2010, 06:05:14 AM

Not terribly far from me.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #9 on:** February 25, 2010, 12:27:14 AM

Dave Bowen usually goes too- I have no idea if he's planning to this year or not though.

We need Bob to come this year, his faithful flock of booth babes would be well appreciated.

David Bowen · **Reply #11 on:** February 25, 2010, 12:39:43 AM

Course I am going this year, I am committed and I don't plan on missing it unless something major happens on my end. I love Blade, it's the closest thing to knife euphoria I can get LOL

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #12 on:** February 25, 2010, 12:49:46 AM

I figured you'd be there- I just didn't want to speak for you!

David Bowen · **Reply #13 on:** February 25, 2010, 02:22:15 AM

You know I love it, it's the closest thing to SHOT I will get. Course with it being in Orlando next year I am VERY tempted!

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #14 on:** February 25, 2010, 02:51:47 AM

Well un-tempt yourself. SHOT is in Las Vegas for the next two years.

And at Sands Expo, not the LV Convention Ctr

David Bowen · **Reply #17 on:** February 26, 2010, 01:11:15 AM

WHAT? Thought it was next year, well crap.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #18 on:** February 26, 2010, 01:13:17 AM

Nope- 2011 and 2012 are going to be in Las Vegas. After that, who knows?

isnt there an Industry Day prior to the general public being let in?

If there is you're going to hook your GA friends up right? I could work for you...carry a bag or something...I'm handy like that.

i dont plan to exhibit, because i may not even be Stateside

but if i can score a couple of extra passes, i will PM u

in the Busse forums (Busse/SwampRat-Rat-Chat/ScrapYard) they give away tickets for blade, you just have to ask (pm the mods) and the tickets cover all the days and you can get in earlier then the general public!

I'm very sad/upset Blade Show West was canceled for this year in Portland, not as good as Blade Atlanta (the one your talking about here) but still, waaay closer to me

cerbera147 · **Reply #22 on:** June 02, 2010, 05:58:18 PM

Are you guys still going this weekend?

Will we be getting loads of pics and a report?

Zack · **Reply #23 on:** June 02, 2010, 09:13:18 PM

I won't be going. We are supposed to move into our new place at the end of the month and the deposits to get everything turned on has killed me. So close...yet so far away.

Fisting_Chili · **Reply #24 on:** June 02, 2010, 10:50:59 PM

Where is it?

I'll be there on Saturday!

prime77 · **Reply #26 on:** June 03, 2010, 06:44:11 AM

I think I am going Friday. My wife isn't thrilled about going with me but she's going with me anyway.

prime77 · **Reply #27 on:** June 03, 2010, 06:49:48 AM

Does anyone know why Leatherman does exhibit at the show?

David Bowen · **Reply #28 on:** June 03, 2010, 01:05:01 PM

Leatherman is not going again this year and that sucks, oh well maybe it's not in the budget or something. I will be there on Saturday morning as soon as I can get there.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #29 on:** June 03, 2010, 10:26:28 PM

Blade is more traditionally for knifemakers, and as a result a lot of the tool companies don't attend.
