Blade-specific annual meeting stops

[duder]

I've been spending some time browsing the NRA annual meeting app, picking out vendors I'd like to visit (busy weekend if my "favorites" list is any indication), and was wondering about knife-makers and other associated stops anyone would recommend. That's certainly not my area of expertise, so I'm looking for some input from the experts here. What's not to miss? Thanks!

This is something I was hoping to be able to attend, and unfortunately work got in the way, I am not sure what all knife making companies will be there, I know that the SHOT show draws nearly all of them out

 

My advice to you, visit any whom are there, this way you can get a one on one impression of the people and form your own opinions

Benchmade, Cold Steel, Emerson, CRKT, Kershaw, and Microtech will have reps there, and I'm sure others as well.

 

I would guess that some others I don't know of will be in attendance as well.

I figured I'd show off what I came home with. I needed a birthday present for my dad, so when I saw that CJ Buck was "signing" blades at the Buck booth, I decided to get each of us an orange Mini Spitfire.
