I'll probably be there on Sun with the wife.  She just likes to people-watch, so we are trying to make up a Bingo board for her to keep her interested.  
Check off squares when you observe the following:
- Utilikilts
- Maxpedition gear
- White guy in Japanese clothes or ethnic clothes from different culture
- Wolverine hair
- Discussion on disembowlment
- Guy claiming to be an "operator"
- Guy carrying 5+ knives.
- bandaged fingers
- dogs behind table
- Obese man with sword
- beard longer that 1 foot
- Guy wearing two swords
- child asking permission to buy throwing stars/knife-comb.

Feel free to add your own!

I actually know an old guy who has this hair style, but I've never thought about calling it that.

I was going to go Saturday, but plans were changed, so I'll be there at noon today.

It's going to be difficult to absorb it all in only a few hours.

The wife said she needed to go shopping for new tennis shoes this weekend, so I said I might go to the knife show while she's doing that (and her parents watch the kids).

"What makes you think I don't want to go?"

I love this woman. When I suggested trading my car for something less sporty like a mid-sized sedan, she was like "Oh HELL no!"

What are the rules for carry at the show?  Didn't see anything on the website or in the program.

There is no body search, no electronic wands, no question asked.  You draw your own conclusion.

I wore a Galco fanny pack all day, nobody even looked twice at it.

i had my g30 IWB as well, with no problems.   very big show...only saw about 1/2 of it yesterday.

I saw everything. The Microtech table was pretty cool. The new Multicam MSAR looked great.

Saw Richard Marcinko. Not as tall as I'd thought, but I still wouldn't poke him in the eye or anything.

I met Marcinko at a book signing on Keesler AFB in Biloxi, MS back in 1997.  I was amazed at how short he was, but like you said I wouldn't want to start anything with him.

Well, I didn't make it. I really didn't have any cash to throw away. Oh well, there's always next year.

I bought way too much gear.  Microtech, RMJ tactical tomahawk, Chris Reeve Warrior, Lapu Lapu Corso. Look 'em up!

True dat. My wallet came home much lighter also.

That Chris Reeve Warrior knife you got is a great tribute to Neil Roberts.

I brought home several new blades, a BlackHawk Legacy XHR7 light, a nice cherry display case (for arrowheads), 5 OD windowed P-Mags, a couple of MICROTECH T-shirts.

I wish MICROTECH had not brought their new multicam STG-556. My girlfriend fondled it, now I've got to sell enough stuff to get two of them.

Blade was awesome. Didn't really get anything other than a free Emerson Kerambit for closing one of the grippers he had there
