Barry: Unfortunately we only do two knife shows a year. One in Pasadena, Calif in March, and one in Eugene, Oregon in April. It takes about three hours to set up a full display and it's too much trouble to do a setup like that at a gun show. We do about eight or ten gun shows a year here in calif, and we just set up two tables for selling stuff. It takes only about an hour for setup, so much easier than a full display.............Dave.

Wow! These pics just remind me of the first time Phil introduced me to you and Lonna and how I just stood at your table, cow-eyed, and drooled!

I not sure I spent any time anywhere else!

That was a great day!....and Phil had to listen to me babble about it for the rest of my visit!

...I am still looking for the elusive ball pommel barung for my collection!

Charles: Yeah, I still remember that day like it was yesterday, though I can't seem to remember if you might have met Bob Cato that day. He used to live right next to Pasadena and would always come to the show. This must have been about the time that he stopped coming and we just sorta lost contact with him, and now he has an unlisted phone number. We just don't know where he is now. If we happen to run across a ball pommel barong we will let you know...........Dave.

An absolutely magnificent collection Dave, I just wish that there was some way for me to see it in person. I have always wanted a suit of Moro armour but it seems that every time I find one that I can actually afford I am always a day too late. It's a shame that you never take your collection farther east (Kansas in particular) as I am quite sure with all the outstanding pieces that you have that it would be the main attraction at any of the gun or knife show around here.

Best,
Robert

Best,
Robert Thank you Robert. We basically are what you would call "stay at homes". There always seems to be plenty of things to do around here, so we don't like to travel very far. The Eugene show is the farthest we go, and that is 520 miles. To most people that is nothing, but sometimes to us it seems like it takes forever, so we are always glad to get back to our six cats and one dog............Dave.
