Props on the table seem to perk interest. Wood stumps, feather, fur, velvet, anodized chunks of titanium, etc...whatever suits the style of knives you are doing. I started with a bare table and I was surprised at the amount of comments I received simply switching to a piece of scrunched up, crushed velvet as a table cloth.

I have also noticed working at your table tends to draw people in. I will bring a few pieces to hand sand, do file work on, stitching a sheath, etc. Something to keep me busy between customers, but something I can stop working on when someone stops by.

Also don't take it personally if your knives don't sell right away. Sometimes you can go to a show and not sell a thing, then the very next show at the same place with the same knives you might sell everything.
