Much bigger crowd this year, almost not any fun. Couldn't hardly get to the microtech or spyderco counters. But I did snag this..
but wasn’t able to get the show special Ultratech. First year that’s happened.

Sweet spyderco
Bought a folder from Giant Mouse, micarta scales, M390 steel. Nice little gentlemen's knife.
Got a Microtech special for a fellow member, sold mine, LOL. I also bought a Heretic special. It's nice, but I prefer Microtech's I do believe.
Other than that, I didn't do much but window shop. Super crowded for a Friday.
One observation: The Chinese are turning out some top of the line titanium flippers these days. Seems like every year, another 2-3 Chinese companies show up with some top notch stuff.
I enjoyed checking out the new "second" room. The A/C sure works better in there, and the majority of the sellers had some interesting stuff.

Didn't get a knife. Wish I had gotten some swag, but the time went by so fast. Some more stickers would have been cool. Who was giving away hats???
I stopped at one case that had a plastic scaled straight razor and asked to look at it. Ask the price and guys says he has to have $300 because it's ivory!
I would like to go back, but I would rather not drive there from Duluth again.
Getting out of the parking deck was a nightmare and I should have left sooner. It wouldn't have been as bad if everyone didn't have to stop and pay the guy $5 for parkong.

Lotto knife, I bought it and..... before I could love it was getting offers on it.
I actually could’ve gotten a lot more but it went to someone that does a lot of everyone (especially) in the knife community and really wanted it.
Are prices any better on Sundays? I was thinking I remember one of the big custom and high end production makers had some knives discounted a lot on Sunday last year.
I thought VZ grips had much better prices at the show, but they aren't much less than usual.
