You're right, I've noticed that myself from some makers when I go to knife shows. I also notice some people doing the opposite, virtual P.T Barnums chatting up everyone telling them about their knives or damascus or whatever. Maybe the people who aren't people persons should get a dealer to sell their stuff for them. They'd get alot more sold, they'd be happier being out making knives instead of trying to sell them, and the customers would be happy getting good knives instead of getting ignored.
