Hey guys,
I am going down to Sydney next weekend for the first International Cutlery Expo there. If anyone else is going and would like to meet up during the show on Saturday, just let me know.
just pointing out I am going to look as a visitor. Not as a tableholder, seller, etc. No affiliation. :)
Adam
Bring me back 1 of everything. Or take lots of pics :<0)
I'll be there, be nice to catch up with a fellow board-dweller. You do some pretty nice work too.
That sounds like a cool outing to catch.
Send us back some pics of the shiny bits that your eye thanks
Bugger it! Wish I could go! Have fun Adam (and Robbied). Try to keep a light touch on your wallet and don't go too heavy handed :). Plenty of photo's too please! As an aside, I haven't heard of this event before, how long has it been running? Years? Or just a recent addition to the knife making scene?
Mick
Brand new Mick. This is the first one. Has potential to be a great annual event, but many other ones have come and gone, so will have to wait and see.
i am there to rubberneck and maybe get some supplies at a good price without paying shipping. Must not buy knives....must resist....need more knives...can never have too many.... resist...
as an aside, William Shatner will be at ComicCon in a couple weeks in Brisbane....
Get me a Denny Crane autograph. :DQuote:

Oh well, next time all....
There were tables aplenty. Covered (mostly) in lovingly crafted blades of almost every description.
Damn, damn, damn... Tease
Photo's are welcome you know! :)

Those razors anodised or plastic ? :)
Cerakote.
I actually had toyed with that idea ( not the pastel colours though!! ) last year. Two things stopped me. One, I did not have a bead blast set up. You need that for surface prep as it will not stick to polished finishes. Lots of other reasons for me to have bead blasting, but lots of other things the funds were needed for first.
second, you need to bake the finish to get the most out of it, and I reckon simple carbon steels would have their temper adversley affected by that.
all that said, this feller might have found ways around that. They were popular with some. Not sure I shuld mentionprices here, so pm e if curious. I have no affiliation or profit from this. :)
Yeah , no prices here Adam. PM is always the way to go.
I googled the 'bake' temp & it's not much higher than boiling water so maybe temper should be largely unaffected ???
Cool. I know there are a few brands like Cerakote. Must have misremembered but thought the one I lasted looked at neede 200C for a half hourvand that I thought might be an issue. All academic really as I like polished steel better and all I need for that is wet dry paper. :)
Agreed :)Quote:
