THE BLADE SHOW IS COMING! THE BLADE SHOW IS COMING!

I just wanted to remind everyone that the BLADE SHOW along with the Living Ready Expo will be in Atlanta this weekend.  It is a great family event with plenty of seminars and demonstrations as diverse as knife throwing, survival tips, forging and the art of the Japanese sword.  There will be displays from many of your major knife companies as well as custom knife and sword makers who will be happy to talk with you and show you their latest projects.  

This will be the eleventh year for the BLADE SHOW and Jerry attended each and every one.  I missed last year and it turned into a father and son outing with Jason escorting his dad.  This year it will be a mother and son outing where we will be able to catch up with some of our friends in the knife world like Pat Crawford and his son Wes who make some of the neatest knives out there and the people at CAS Hanwei and Benchmade and many more.

If any of you can make it, you'll be happy you did.  Maybe it can become a family tradition for you and yours.  While you're there, go to the Martin Knives booth #319 and see the knives John Thomas Rourke is going to be using in THE SURVIVALIST #31.  They were designed by Jerry and Bob Anderson and crafted by the Martins.

Next week I'll be posting the results of a poll taken to determine who would be cast today in the movie version of THE SURVIVALIST. Votes are still open until then so get yours in.  Comment here or go to facebook and Jerry Ahern.
