There is a flea market every Sunday a few towns over in the summer. Place is 20 or so acres and rents tables out. Usually has a pretty good turn out. I haven't been in years but will be checking it out this weekend. |

Originally Posted By Star_Scream: So you have a legacy stash of materials? View Quote A relative owned a big upholstery shop from the 1950’s until their death and dissolution of the company in the early 2000’s. There were many “new” fabric and textile spools from the 1940’s and later that were found when selling off the inventory. I’ve always wondered if things like micarta are just stored away for decades until someone with motivation comes across it, similar to the case above. Seems like it. |

View Quote Or a less abrasive way to reply might be: Oh hey, that’s great! I love knives too! It’d be neat if you could share some pictures of your knives with the group because we’d be interested in seeing what you have - as long as it isn’t bitchmade. Since we’re both knife nerds and live near each other maybe we could even meet up and touch each others’ steel. I’ll bring the crab meat if you have the paper plates. |

Use Bud light coasters.
Tell people your knife identifies as a wrench, sorry I mean spanner. Problem solved. |
