I'm here at Blade Show 2014 and each day I'll be posting a video-blog sharing some photos, insights, and other thoughts.  So far, I've seen a lot of the bigger companies (Cold Steel, Benchmade, Spyderco, Buck, Browning, ESEE, Ontario Knife Company, Topps, Brous, CRKT, and more) and I've caught up with a few people/seen some people like Michael Janich from Spyderco, Ethan Becker from Ka-Bar, the VP of Schrade Knives, and my buddy David from Ultimate Survival Tips.  So what do YOU want me to find out while I'm at Blade Show?  Post a comment and let me know.
