Merci Moon. La vache, Centofante, D'Holder et Crawford ont pris un coup de vieux! Cela me fait toujours bizarre les ayant vus il y a longtemps au Sicac (idem pour Terzuola).

C'est vrai que le petit maigrichon c'est Dexter Ewing alias Bud Lang ? Et ben... je préfère ses avatars...

Je me disais pareil...Le temps n'arrange perssone.

Par contre même si elle ne sont pas jumelles les petites Emersons font une paire de trés jolie fille.

Il me semble que l'on s'éloigne du sujet initial à savoir le blade show 2007.

c'est pas là le sabre de napoléon à 14000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000€?

loin du sujet, mais pour voir

je suis certain que la fille de Neil Blackwood sera plus jolie que les Emerson dans quelques années... sa copine aussi

reportage de PiterM sur CKG :

Finally... all pictures downloaded to image storage server & comments added. I keep some additional seminars separately for the future, so watch out for updates next week!

Flying to Atlanta...


and happy landing!


Thursday afternoon, first look to the hotel lobby and friendly faces around! From right: Joel Pirela, Howard Viele (thanks again for the #01 Anubis), Edgar aka earroyo. (photo taken actually by french_fries but I wanted to thank Edgar & Howard, and I don't have the picture of these two guys together. However, I'll remove the photo if you'd prefer me to do that)


With my Exhibitor Badge I was able to take the first look already on Thursday. Generally almost noone there... so I decided to go back to the Pit & get my first beer.

Black Hawk Knives (MOD) and Michale Janich with his all-new Jani-Song (kind of horizontal balisong). I like the idea (as a utility knife) but there is no Bali spirit in this blade in fact IMHO. But the idea itself is very cool. And VERY SAFE for fingers.

Pat Crawford's table


And Emerson's lounge. Cool place to sit & talk...


Mr. Kressel himself... and hell of a Bowie!

Got Rambo knife? Only these are "real stuff". Someone told me: "if a collector is willing to pay 25k USD for your 14 teeth Lile than he may be willing to pay 50 as well". Well... that's not cheap!



And new all-abalone Scarabs at MT's booth.



And finally Jima Crowell's pieces - stunning!
