I'm finally going to go to Blade Show. I am not a knife collector or expert; just a guy who likes knives. I've wanted a custom damascus bowie for years, and I figure I might just pull the trigger if I see one that doesn't break the bank. On a more down to earth level, I hope to possibly pick up a Joe Watson while I'm there.
Have any of you been? Can anyone add some good defensive oriented brands to my list of what to take a look at? Is there anything about Blade I should know before I go?
Finally, I know more about food than knives. If anyone feels like sharing a restaurant recommendation, (doesn't have to be a James Beard award winner) I'd love to hear it. I'll be staying near the Cobb Galleria Center in Cumberland.
Thanks, fellas!
