North West Knife Collectors Autumn Show - Tacoma, WA
October 27, 2001
Last year when I went to the Tacoma show with Chuck and his neighbor Jake, I found the show kind of blah...the only high point of the day was lunch with the forum guys. This year the show was much better last. I was told they even had to turn away about 20 people who wanted to get tables! There was more quality in the custom knives - spurred by guys like Nick Wheeler, Tom Ferry, Will Stegner, and Roger Dole.

Double Bolstered Hunter
Nick's ready to be famous - he even has his own directors chair! |
Unlike the S-Bolster I made with Ken Onion, Nick hand fits his curved bolsters! |
Tom Ferry very nice Damascus bowie |
Tom and Will - table neighbors shooting the shit |
Tom's Damascus folder - features carving on bolsters and backspacer |
