I've made arrangements with a friend to send me video from the 2006 Las Vegas Antique Arms & Custom Knife Show, which is in progress now, thru Sunday, at the Mandalay Bay !
He is using his cellphone to transmit these images, so the quality is not the best, and the playback a tad small ..... but it's pretty cool none the less :-)

Here's the first one in ....

P.S. I had to download a free version of Quicktime 7 in order to be able to watch these, which I got at this link :

Another is coming in now , Mac

Too cool, keep 'em coming Mac! That is one sweet basket hilt!

Thanks for sharing, MAc...
Lovely basket hilts!!!

Cheers,
Henrik

Thanks for the videos!
Just a note for those of you who might be having difficulty viewing these, I was unable to get any of the videos to play in either Firefox or Opera... switching over to IE quickly solved the problem.

Looks like they needed a little distraction from all that A&A

The dogs, ;-) Mac

Well I certainly didn't see anything in that last post that was worthy of dragging people away from swords. These friends of yours apparently need to review their priorities. :lol:

Thanks for the videos, Mac! Gotta love those basket-hilts. And that Vince Evans viking is beyond gorgeous. As for the nightlife, I assume that shows some folks going off a-viking, but I didn't see their weapons and armor... :lol:

Thanks Mac!

Here is a short vid for you taken with my camera that I was using for photos (which I am working on) maybe in a few years the video quality on cell phones will be much better than what I was using at the time....You missed a great show + the after show stuff!
