Will take more than a few hours, there are 1846 exhibitors. I brought along one of my friends to the show and i sent him the link to the exhibitors list (

I was only able to be there for a day and a half which is not enough time to see all of the show. Being at the show sends you into sensory overload, there is to much cool stuff at one place. And you also become jaded, after you see 40 or 50 different oh wow's and gee whiz's the next ones don't easily turn your head. Of course there are things that are very memorable, the previously mentioned friend carrys a gerber knife, we stopped by the Gerber booth and he asked if he could get his knife sharpened. The person behind the counter said no we don't have the ability to do that at the show, but you can go to the booth over there and they will give you a demo of their sharpening tools and sharpen your knife for you. Then she asks if the knife is a gerber and my friend replies that he wouldn't carry anything else. She takes his knife and hands it over to an elderly gentleman who pulls out an engraving tool and signs my friends knife. Where else could you get your knife signed by Mr. Gerber.
Really cool show and I am looking forward to Doug's review.
