Junes Jewlery and Gifts?!?! WTF?!?!



I remember going to gun shows here in Nebraska/Iowa and noticing vendors selling crap like beef jerky, jewelry, tools, etc.....with not one gun on their table. Unfortunately, the shows have gone downhill ever since. Hardly worth paying the price of admission.

My worry is that there are not a lot of "younger" folks interested in knife collecting....to carry the torch for us older farts....I hope this isn't the case. I've never been to Blade, and curious--do you see the younger demographic represented or am I just ranting like an old man?
