Knife meetup?

Post by choombak » Thu May 31, 2012 1:20 pm

I was mulling over the idea of having a small meetup, say, in Mumbai with IFGians, and others interested in knives (with knives). There might be a practical difficulty of carrying so many knives if someone is traveling from outside Mumbai, but haven't given it a full thought.

Would like to hear ideas, suggestions, and we can probably get this going...

Sure it can be done but doubt whether would be allowed to carry any from the airport. So in my case won't be able to carry mine except one or two folders.

Going off topic maybe...Olly, Choombak...can we organise a 'Sharp Convention' in Mumbai. It should include eminent knifemakers from all over the world, our wonderful Sikligars and the craftsmanship of the ages. Demonstrations, customs, new cutlery, old restorations...we could do this with the active participation of IFG members.

:agree: Yepps am going with Olly on this one. One more vote for either Madam Sheila's domain or even Bhengi's
