Great show if you have never been. Even if you have.
Stop by and say hello if you go,
I will be set up in the Lower Level (7 1/2 acres under one roof, over 4,000 tables)
Look for Row 10 LA, Tables 11 and 12, ask for David
I am bringing my CMP M-1 Garands and others from my collection.
Will have Randall Knives and other custom knives.
Hope to see you there.

I have been a Randall collector for decades.
I focused on Model 11, Alaskan Skinners, but built a collection of all the Randall Models with Stainless Blades, Nickel Silver Hilts, Black/Aluminum Spacers, Black Micarta Handles, Nickel Silver Butt Caps and Black Sheaths.

I recently sold a Board that was made for one of the Randall Dealers in Tennessee in 1970, with then current knives, duplicating the fold out picture in the catalog.

I will be bringing some from the collection:
Tom Clinton Signature Special with Black Palm Handle
All Stainless Model 18 (one of less than 75)
Model 1's, 2's, 8, 19, Rick Bowles Limited Special, etc.
If there is something you are looking for, let me know, and I will look in the safe.
A lot of my firearm collection will be there too.

That display looks even better than the fold out. Very well done.

Show went well.
There was a lot of interest in the firearm collection and I found new homes for most of those that I brought

Good, some exhibitors told me they saw mediocre attendance. I was unable to get to your table due to a foot issue limiting my walking.

Sorry to hear that.
That show does require a lot of walking.
The buyers from Scheel's got to my table early on Friday.
They are opening new stores in Dallas, TX, and Fargo, ND, this coming year and were looking for inventory.
They said that Colorado Springs would get a store in 2021.
The show attendance was in spurts. No one in the aisles, and then too crowded to move.
People seem to buy in spurts, too. I had 3 buyers actually handing me money at the same time, then 2 hours of no one buying.
The people watching is really entertaining there, and the logos on T Shirts and Hats had us all laughing at times.
A "must do" show at least once.
