Australian Blade Ed 2 Sep 2017

"Day two started at a more respectable hour which was nice. Sunday in general
for me was a bit slower than Saturday but still a good day overall and I sold 3
more knives. Got a chance to meet a heap of new people and help get my name out
there which was the point of the trip. Being a little quieter allowed me to get
around and talk to some of the other makers out there which was great - so many
talented makers with amazing ideas and skill. Overall I had a great show, I
covered my costs, promoted Cape York Blades and caught up with some mates and
made some new ones. The Sydney show is a great event run by all the hard
working volunteers from the Knife Art Association. Even if you’re not a knife
enthusiast it’s worth the trip to see what these great Australian makers are
producing.”
By his own account Dylan had a successful show and left Sydney richer for the experience. But that positive
experience was by no means one sided. Bruce Barnett was moved to remark :
“I've been following Dylan's progress … since he did the ABS course in Sydney and he's coming out with
some interesting stuff. I really like where Dylan is going with the frontier style because no one else has really
gone for it in Australia."
The future looks bright for Cape York Blades with Dylan Jones at the edge of the frontier.
