SOUTHEASTERN CUSTOM KNIFE SHOW

I love attending cutlery shows because, without fail, I come home renewed and enthused with the prospect of getting back to the shop. The attendance at this year's Southeastern Custom Knife Show in Winston Salem, North Carolina was less than expected but everyone I met seemed excited to be there and full of questions and ideas. All the interaction made the 3 1/2 hour trip home go quickly because of all the new wave of ideas to process. So, I hope all of you have a chance in the future to attend a custom knife show. Winston Salem is a great city to visit with much to see and do. Next September plan to be there. The first week end in June each year the real Grand daddy show - Atlanta's International Blade is held. If you have never been to the Blade Show you'll most likely find yourself in a state of shock. Simply the Best from every corner of the world will be there. Woody will be at Smokey Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville , Tennessee October 17, 18 & 19 for an open house event. All the manufacturer's reps from all the major knife companies will be there along with yours truly. If you would like to come up that weekend book lodging now because that's the peak of leaf color season & many motels are already sold out. WOODY
