I'm not really a knife guy, but my son is so we went today. It is a very large show, easily twice the size of the gun show also happening in a smaller building in the fair complex.

As you would expect, there were a lot of knives at the knife show and quite a few impressive custom knifes displayed buy their makers. I bought a Kershaw Scallion exactly like This one for $20. Yes, it is a xxxx blem, but it doesn't look like it.

My son, the knife guy, spent over $500 on 3 knives. He was extremely happy with them and enjoyed the show quite a bit.

My son and I go every year, get a hotel room and spend the weekend. We have group from another forum, USN, (Usual Suspect Network) that go every year for a get together. We spend as much time partying together as we do at the show. Had a great time again this year. It is a good opportunity to GTG with friends and also pick up some nice knives. I scored a Chris Reeve Damascus Mnandi for about 1/3 off retail price. My son picked up a limited edition Microtech UT6
