He had, 50 blocks of old stock ironwood burl for $500.
I still have bad dreams when I remember this.

There is only one emoticon that sums this up :

Does anybody know if Watanabe will be there again this year? Or any other kitchen knife makers? I went to their website but no vendor list.

After I finished setting up I wandered over to see the other supplier, curious to see if he bought the ironwood.

How much would that normally be worth?

I didn't see it of course, but judging by the average price of ironwood blocks I see on the net, 50 blocks @ $40 a piece would be $2,000.

Yeah. I think that's a fairly conservative number. Really nice blocks can go for much more. Prices have gone up a lot in recent years.
