Looks like a very nice start to the GTG. We'll live vicariously through you guys for the rest of the weekend.

The gathering was absolutely wonderful. BIG Thank you to Lonnie and Anja for their spectacular generosity in opening their home, feeding us, hosting and setting up the wine tasting. Thank you to Mike for the organization, and for Ian and Taylor to take time from their busy schedule to come all the way here and provide their charm and expertise. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts, your enthusiasm and your cherished knives. What an incredible collection of knives over food, drinks and talk. I am humbled and thankful.

Sounds like everyone had a great time, if I was out anywhere near that neck of the woods I would've signed up too. Lots of beautiful knives and Lonnie I absolutely love your kitchen, the range is something special.

 

[Dardeau]

That Ealy that came from Marc is so fine.

 

[The Edge]

I had a great time! Thanks to everyone for putting this together! A big shout out to Lonnie and Anja for hosting. You truly made me feel welcome coming in to your home. As for the knives, it's not everyday that you get to walk in to a room full of so many unicorns. Loved seeing your work in person Ian! Great knives, not just aesthetics, but great cutters as well. A very memorable event, and I hope to attend more of these in the future!

That Billip handle looks so comfortable... very nice.

This can't avoid being fun. Looks like a good time.

I'm so sad I had to miss this. been busy trying to buy a new house.

then...just in case we were NOT BUSY ENOUGH, wife changed her mind and we are selling our first home...that SAT was a day of signing papers and making a to-do list from our super selling agent. wine and knife play sounded a billion times more fun.

 

[mikedtran]

You will have to come next time!

We will have to cut more things next time =D
