How can a sheathmaker expose in knives show?

The title includes my whole question.
I want to know how a sheathmaker, not a knifemaker can participate in any knives show.
Could you tell me your experience about that?
Thanks a lot.

I would think if you paid for a table the promoters would not mind as sheaths are knife related
as a knifemaker who doesn't like leatherwork as much as blades I would welcome the chance to meet some sheathmakers

You can also attend knifemaking hammer in's. There's a very good sheath maker that comes to the one here. I would think a knife maker is more inclined to purchase a sheath before a end user, at least a nice one. A good sheath can sell a knife, I learned that from experience.

All the show that I've attended allow anything knife related to be shown and even that's not necessarily strictly enforced. I went to a show down near St. Louis and a man was showing turned bowls along with his knives. If you pay for you table you should be fine.

Pancho, you thinking about coming to the States for a few shows or just asking in general?
I've not been to any shows where good sheath makers were not allowed (even some not so good).
If you are coming to the States for shows, be sure to post which ones and when. You have a lot of makers here on KNF that'd like to greet and meet you.
