I’m in the same boat as you Ray. Totally bummed that I won’t be able to attend. I hope that everyone has a fantastic time! Hopefully Mark does another one of these in the future.

I just mooched your photo Carter. It’s getting big response on Instagram.

Tim, if you’re done with your knives, post a pretty picture and I’ll do the same for you.

+1 to both comments. Living in the UK means that this would always have to be combined with a family holiday and as our oldest is at school, it would have to be outside of term time which sadly this isn’t. Have a great time everyone!!!

Ahh, I would love to but ..I actually forgot to post a picture of the completed knives...LOL, I wonder If there is a chicago area photographer that could come to the party and be taking good pro shots of different knives/ the whole event.

Here is the one Ive got:


Thanks Mark!

[datster]

HAHAHA! I'm thinking all of us bringing our wives are going to be asking for receipts that say ......

(1) Custom knife - List price $99, Special Show Price $49

Oh yeah, and if you charge the credit card can you make it say home improvement, auto repair or something like that? Maybe next time we can work something out and just charge our purchases to our room!

The old adage:
My greatest fear is when I die my wife will sell my knives for what I told her I paid for them.

[Willison_Knives]

Wish I could make! Maybe next time. Have fun everyone!

[timos]

any CC payments i process should show as food retail / utensils ..that might not help any of you guys tho

[Jeff B]

The wife is expecting me to spend a shit load of money so I hope you're bring some really good stuff!
