    For 99% of us in the USA, Jurr, that kind of adds insult to injury.

    Yeah Paul, I know. However, what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. I believe you can take it!

    On the other hand, the amount of people that visit us at even trade shows is amazing. The interaction with them is what I like most about doing shows. You meet, you listen, you learn, you talk and you level.... Fantastic! Yohoo!

    Be good and be safe Paul!

    I'll be there again!

    Stop complaining Deacon, you could even visit Golden fairly easily, I imagine.

    Braunschweig to Amsterdam: 271 miles

    The last time I was in Europe, it was pretty easy to hop on a train and travel city to city. It isn't so easy in the US.

    I actually wouldn't mind seeing something similar to the mini meets in the US.

    Getting excited!

    Not long to wait now!

    I'm getting excited! Looking forward to seeing Sal & Gail, the team and all of my brothers and sisters of the knife. I know that there has been some interest from members in the USA!

    See you soon, Ken

    Many Thanks!

    What a great weekend!

    A huge thank you to Sal, Gail and Jur for coming over to the UK for their third visit. Their time and efforts are very much appreciated by all who attended.

    The Spyderco Show went very well and I feel that Sal allowed us a more personal insight into the business and himself. We all felt very relaxed in each others company, it was good to see some old friends and make some new ones.

    The knives that are to be offered in the future are incredible! I can't go into any detail but trust me when I say my credit cards have already gone into hiding. Thanks too to Chris Claycomb who talked us through how the Spyderco Bushcraft Knife has been developed, another knife I am looking forward to using.

    The traditional curry went very well too! Azram at the Sheesh Mahal looked after us well. I tried a Phall, I won't be doing that again! It was like a huge family gathering which, after all we are!

    Here is a link to some photos of the show and the meal......
