That's one good looking dog! I wish I could've come and hung out with Abby again.
Oh yeah and the people and the knives.
Thanks for the pics Seth!

Hats off to Craig and his wife for their generous hospitality. Really enjoyed the opportunity meeting several of the guys from this forum. Thanks to WildBoar for the lift up to Holland, and the great baby advice.
Johnny, Son and Rick, that table you guys shared was a straight candy shop of what this forum has to offer, A to Z. Seth, your tour through Shig City was phenomenal. Butch, dig that Tuna sword, and stunning work all around!
Too many highlights for this newcomer to list, but I will mention the Million layer Damascus from Randy, prob the sharpest edge there. The Damascus ladle and stand was nothing shy of groovy, and I have a new found love for the Hiromoto AS 300 suji (for which I now have a WTB thread started) and I'm starting a new search for a good affordable deba.

Many thanks to all there for making my sous (420layers...) and I feel welcome. Cheers!

I arrived late, so missed a chance to meet some of the people I haven't met. Bummer.
Thanks to Craig for hosting it again. That grouper was fantastic.

Thanks Seth for your family's hospitality and kindness in hosting this event. And thanks for the duck discussion. I got to match up some faces with the names for the first time. It's always enlightening for me to talk with pros about their knives

Link didnt work. I really wish I would hav been able to make it. I was working up till the last minuet to find someone to cover my slot at the wedding. But having only 4 cooks in our kitchen, it was impossible. Maybe nxt time

Damn it. On my lap top out worked when clicked, but now the entire album it's missing! Technology, you have failed me. Again.

Let me fix this.
