I fulfilled the birthday wish I've had for the last five years or so. I got to attend SHOT Show; the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Tradeshow in Las Vegas. It's the biggest tradeshow of the year for anything dealing with cool outdoor stuff. In my case it's ground zero for Big D's Trifecta: guns, knives and flashlights. It was awesome. I was in shock and awe. I carried my camera around for 5 hours and had so much fun handling all the new products that I didn't take a single picture. Not one.
Coolest souvenir of the day? GLOCK playing cards!
Best Meal? In-n-Out!
Best Knife of the day? RAT Junglas Machete!
Best gun of the day? Rifle Dynamics MAC-11 SBR w/ Bulgarian side folder or Arsenal Krink.....but how do you pick from so many? LWRC REPR....or M6A2...and on and on...
Best Flashlight of the day? Surefire UB3T or M3LT. INSANE.
I'm also tryind my hand at knifemaking. I've got a couple ready to send out for heat treat.
I'm going to try handling them with homemade denim micarta.
