OK Crew:
It's been a total blast reading your guesses. A couple came fairly close...but "no cigar"!! Here's what I have in mind...and it will be up to you, the Crew, to vote this idea into reality...or "not"!!
A great many of you, despite my pleading cannot ( or will not) be attending this year's Blade show. For those who cannot I want you to feel (somewhat) included. As many already know I have very little, if any time to spare at the Blade show. It is, quite singularly, the busiest, most stressful, yet exciting show of the year!
I am setting up "3 times" as many personal displays, in the lobby on our club tables this year, in an effort to recruit new members and educate customers attending this year's Blade show! For "all of the above" reasons, I will be "slammed"!
Thursday afternoon and Friday morning may allow me a bit of time to get away from the club tables, my booth, the general madhouse...and "shop". I will also be calling into service: Billy, Ken, James, Becky, Chief, Wally, Lori, etc., etc., etc. to "help" me shop. Scott will be there to lend a hand as well...I am sure!
Here's the "layout" (as we have no building plans at this time):
* I am going to build 3 RMKs
* Each one will be a different "type", i.e. serve a different purpose
* Choices will come from RMK catalog models, non-catalog models or one of my Stanaback Specials!
* Those special purposes will be determined by "me".
* I will buy "CW" to chose from for these 3 builds!
* There will be multiple choices for each category!
* All handle material will be voted on and chosen by you, the Crew!
* All options for these knives will be chosen by you, the Crew!
* All 3 knives will be completed and exhibited at the 2018 Blade Show, at the club meeting and the club display tables.
* There will be our usual drawing from the winners of each build...just like always.
* All other build rules apply!
So........CREW:.......ROLL CALL VOTE........Vote for one:
A) Hell yeah, I'm in!
B) Dumbest idea I've ever heard of! Count me out!
C) Yes: It's dumb. But I'm "in" anyway!
Stay sharp, Capt. Chris
