Mostly want to just put them in my hand to see what feels good. I've ordered some stuff online but got disappointed in person in terms of feel.
I will say that I'm more likely to go to the Wanne because I'm not looking for any firearms.
Yeah, if you're looking at Production Folders and maybe a few Mid-Techs, we don't have too much here in OK. You can call Sooner State Knives and find out what shows he going to next (I think he sometimes puts that on his website) and he'll even bring along some knives he normally wouldn't if you ask for them specifically. He's a nice enough guy, but he's pretty severely OCD about his knives, so he sometimes runs folks off from his booth. Just talk to him about specifically what you're looking for and ask before sheath/unsheath anything and he'll be more than helpful.
