I did attend. If you were looking for a knife, it was a great show. If interested in tactical gear, it was very dissapointing. The tactical gear part of the show was tucked away in the back of the exhibit hall where it was hard to find. The selection of items to view was dismall. I drove 45 min each way. If there is one next year, I am not likely to attend.

I have attended BLADE Atlanta for at least the past 10 years.  Wouldn't miss it, Tactical Expo or not.

 

The Tactical Gear Expo was small.  I enjoyed having everything in one place so I could compare gear, etc.  I'll be there next year.  I hope the word gets out and more suppliers show up.

 

Directions to the area could have been better but I didn't find the location that difficult.  There were signs on the floor pointing the way.  As far as it being tucked in the back, it was pretty much in the area Spyderco has been every year I've attended.  Not that big of a deal.

 

Keep it up!  My hope is that this is a small start to something big.

 

Thanks for adding it to BLADE Atlanta.  Great venue and makes a great show even better!!
