Which Show?

[andy gascoigne]

Hi all !

I would at some time this year like to visit the U.S and take in a knife show or two. What I would like to know is your opinion as to the BEST show to visit.

This will be my first visit to the United States and my first major knife show, as knife shows in the U.K are very rare and small by comparison.

I look forward to your comments and who knows I may also be meeting up with some of my knife buddies in the near future.

Best regards,

Andy Gascoigne..

Without a doubt - Blade show in Atlanta, Georgia in June if you want to see the biggest and best in the world.

I would have to agree if you must do 1 Blade in Atlanta would be it. Second would be the Chicago Custom Show.

I concur, Andy, and stop by my table and say hello!

Thanks everyone.. Looks like I've got to start planning a visit to Atlanta. I'm looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible and stocking up on materials and equipment whilst the exchange rate is in my favour.

I've just got to start finding other places to visit while I'm over there..possibly take a visit down to Florida and the Keys..always wanted to go down to key West and Key Largo to do some diving.

Cheers,

Andy..

Welcome south!!! If you decide to do the Blade Show, make sure you plan on staying all 3 days....This show is overwhelming, the size of it will take your breath away. Over 600 booths and tables of wall to wall knifemakers and suppliers. If you've read about them in the magazine, you'll meet them at the show.....I can't wait !!!! Wear comfortable shoes.
