We here at KNIFE Magazine are doing Blade Show a bit differently this year. They (Blade) stopped letting us pass out magazines to people waiting in line last year, which had been a great way to take advantage of the captive audience and give them something to pass the time as they stood around. Too effective I guess.
Mark had already been toying with the idea of trying to actually sell some knives as well as magazines at the show. He was recently tasked with selling a really exquisite collection from a gentleman who recently passed away. It is the kind of collection that people will want to visit Booth 542 just to take a look at, even if one isn’t planning to buy anything.
There are more than 400 Custom knives, from the likes of
Michael Burch
Mick Strider
Brian Tighe
Wally Hayes
Don Fogg/Kemal Knives
And many, many more.
There are also antique bowies and pocketknives in the collection. Come see it all at Booth 542.
