Aidan is a good kid.
Had at least three knives on him Sunday.
He just smiled when several people told him to keep close eye on Ram.

Dennis,

Aiden needs to sleep with one eye open

I want to add that Chris presented a plaque to Gary Clinton, from the R.K.C.C. for his continuous support during the meeting Saturday. It's Amazing how much can get covered in an hour. Maybe Chris will chime in, if we missed anything.

Gary does a great deal of work for the RKCC, donating for the club raffles, presenting great educational seminars that often give the opportunity to see hands-on some rare knives most of us might not otherwise see. His recognition is well deserved!

I agree with what you said 100%. Gary, and his late father, are true assets to the RMK collecting world.

I have to tell you that I believe even with the problems regarding the Renaissance Waverly issues, that this was the BEST Blade show in the past 15 years!!

Cash was flowing, moods were great, friends galore everywhere!

Great displays, Mitchell and Duke McCaa's awesome collections that they brought to sell/trade (including my favorite of the show, an all stainless STN model 18-5 1/2, WOW), Buck running around making us all pose all weekend!! Wayne Jordan making a two day cameo! Tommy from Blue Ridge wheeling and dealing!!

Caps meeting was awesome with about half a dozen people giving input, some great giveaways, including a Randall (ty Gary), a beautiful drop point knife (that I won!!) and a funny $20 commemorative story to boot!!

And I do believe that Gary Clinton's seminar on the relationship with RMK and NASA and it's history from the late 50's to today was the most informative seminar I've EVER attended!! He was (along with Sam) very gracious in his information leaving guesswork behind while giving us some educated speculation on who, what when and where!! Aaannnddd Gary gave away a model 17 to a lucky attendee!!!

What a show!!! Don't let anything keep you from next year's Blade! With the continued rising economy it is going to be even greater!! As if that's possible!!

KenKan's (Kenny lambert) fantastic display of model 20s, including a brown micarta Ward Gay, low S Ward Gay, Seperate S, and a couple of carbon blades, plus a slew of nicely optioned more modern blades.

Some of Billy Poyner's model 14s. Gotta love that Jade and Ranger green! Sorry for the glare...

And Here's Becky and James Caruso's display, I loved the theme, all leather and fighting hilts!
