Les, I have a web site
www.theknifemaker.com and I dont mind the competition. I am willing to make an investment, even If I dont sell one, will probably not have a lot to sell as most of what I make gets purchased quite quickly. I am not new to this as I have been making knives for 18 + yrs. I introduced Terry Primos to a belt grinder and the forge and helped get him started. He and I attended ABS meetings together. My point is, I am not a newbie. Will compare my knives to any junior smith and some mastersmiths. I really hate to toot my horn but I am not a bad bladesmith. Look at the d-guard I just posted (not a good photographer though). Which show will you think would be the best bang for the buck for exposure. Thats all I really want. And I really do hate to comment on my blades. My mom did teach me better than that, And I take critisicm for what it is. A veiw to improve. Thanks for your time and any advice will be greatly appreciated.
