In May, in Dover is the annual Western Reserve Knife Collector's Show. It is attended by many Ohio Knife Makers including: Jim Downs, Mickey Yurco, Fred Rowe, Gene Loro, Larry Bailey, Carroll Shoemaker, Carl Young, Dale Werther, Ray Babcock, Roger "Mudbone" Jones...just to name a few off the top of my head - heck so many I can't remember all their names....There is also an Ohio Knife Makers Association that meets regularly too; call Dale Werther at the Carl Werther Museum in Dover for more info.
May 21-22, 2005 at the fairgrounds in Dover, OH - free admission; a combination of custom makers, collectors, dealers, scrimshanders, knife making suppliers (Koval Knives), and knife nuts in general!!!
A very nice regional show.
