Photos of the sword display I had at last weekends excellent Auckland Blade and Knife show.
Was great to see meet with New Zealand's very talented knife makers showing off their work. Truly inspiring works of art.
For my display I opted to have a selection from the collection that covered a broad range instead of focusing on the one topic.
It was also my first use of the new boards I made after the last show. These are on their own stands giving me more table space.
Despite being a bit rough about the edges (remember folks, measure twice, cut once 🤣) they worked well. The next challenge is to improve on how the swords are mounted. Cable ties work great, but they're fiddly to pass through the cloth backing while trying to hold up a sword at the same time.
My thanks to The Auckland Blade Show for organising such a great event and for allowing me to participate. Shows like these are key to showing people just what is available and possible.
