Overall the sporting arms show was a little thinner than average. European builders like those from Italy and Austria were absent. Famars is out of business, no Spanish makers present, didn't see several of US dealers who usually attend. Missing also were the blackpowder cartridge rifle makers. Couple of the British gun house were also missing. The FEGA addition was great. The knife show is not much better than many local shows, didn't see any big name builders of knives. The rooms across the hall for Julia's auction wares was excellent for looking but nothing for sale there until March. The Alaska estate room was interesting too. In the main hall things were pretty much the same as far as I could tell. Maybe the quality of content was a little lower but still a good show for me.
