My wife and I were in Arlington Heights (Illinois, USA) on the Sept. 10 weekend to attend the first Chicago Custom Knife Show. We were invited to a private dinner/party for Bob Terzuola to celebrate his 60th birthday. Would YOU turn down a personal dinner invitation with Bob Terzuola, Allen Elishewitz, Owen Wood, Scott Slobodian, Zaza Revishvili, Howard Hitchmough, Simon Lytton, Kaj Embretsen, Des Horn, and Pat Crawford? 
I thought I would share a few of my amateur photos of that wonderful evening here.
The birthday boy arrives at the restaurant, accompanied by Susan Weese and Scott Slobodian. That's Owen Wood's back to my camera.
Tony The Waiter (who remembered all 23 drink and dinner orders without writing down a single word!), Owen Wood, Allen Elishewitz, Des Horn, Bob Terzuola, and Kaj Embretsen.

Maureen Enge (Mrs. Cockroachfarm), enjoying the company of Pat Crawford and his charming "fiancee", Linda.
It was an outstanding dinner and a most enjoyable time spent with several of the world's most respected bladesmiths.
