Knife Shows?

G-19 · Feb 13, 2010

How would I find information on upcoming knife, exclusive, shows? I am interested in going to a knife show that has a large selection of custom knifes.

Oregon Knife Collector's Show is a great one to attend - it's so good, I drive all the way down from Seattle:

Blade Show West is smaller, but attracts some good, high-quality makers - it normally happens in the fall:

I went to Blade Show West last year - first knife show I ever went to. Good collection... also 1/4 mile away from my office

I picked up a Benchmade Auto and a Swamprat knife.

The Oregon Knife Collector's Show looks interesting, but ugh, I hate driving to Eugene. I might just wait a bit longer and hit Blade West again.

Blade West is a no go this year. It's been cancelled.

It's considerably larger than Blade Show West and well worth the drive. I'm 3+ hours further north than you are & I still think it's worth the trip.

Bummer - I'd heard rumors that it wasn't coming back, so not surprised, but disappointed all the same. It was a nice size show w/ high quality. I know several makers preferred this show, so I hope they switch back to the Eugene show.

I've also heard good things about the Montana Knifemakers show in Missoula, but that's a really long trip....
