Last June at the Blade Show in Atlanta, I noticed how many tables were "un-manned". Many just had business cards laying out. This was on a Saturday morning, and the place was packed.

Later, I noticed many of the makers were at other maker's tables just chatting.

On the other hand, many makers extended a handshake and acted like they had known me all my life. They were eager to tell me all about their products. Those guys made an impression.

One older gentleman, whom I won't name, sold two knives while we were discussing grinding techniques.

There is more to selling your knives than just making a pretty blade...........
