Indy 1500 show
Thanks for the kind words Shankmaker.2thumbs It was a pleasure talking to you on Fri. then to Gomike on Sun.
The show was packed all weekend,Sat. and Sun. was elbow to elbow.Most of the people there where gun people. The people coming thru,that stoped and handled my knives and talked knives ,knew about custom knives, so it was easier to talk to them.You did not have to explain the difference between a custom and a production knife. If you depend on knifemaking for a living,this show would only be good if you where able to go home every night and not have other expences besides the table rent.I was lucky enough to sell a couple knives in the $300.00 range,a couple of orders, then some repairs for a couple dealers I know.So I did'nt do too bad. A lot of people where looking for knives in the $100.00 range,which I did'nt bring. I will probably go again,but it will be at the Oct. show,or the Jan.2011 show.And then I would bring more affordable knives for this type of show. You just have to remember it's not a knife show.
