Hi folks,
It's a pleasure to start this thread. I've envied this show for years, and my current work circumstances opened up this schedule for me. I contacted Dave Harvey (Nordic Knives/show promoter) a few weeks ago to see if the opportunity was open, and after he queried a past photographer, I was able to confirm.
This is a formidable show, limited to 150 collectors. Contact Dave at Nordic Knives for more info.
The Show happens once every two years; off years from the similar Art Knife Invitational (AKI).
Here's the format from the website:
Our next Solvang Show will be held Saturday April 26, 2014.
The show will open to invited buyers at 10 AM for a three hour viewing period. At 1 PM each maker will conduct their drawings.
The impressive list of attending artists below is assurance that it will indeed be the world's most exciting custom knife event of 2014. As with our past two shows, this is an invitational event, limited to 150 buyers.
Each maker will bring a minimum of three, and a maximum of eight knives. Every knife will be sold on a drawing basis, giving every bidder an equal chance of winning the opportunity to purchase. The admission fee will again be $125 for buyers and $75 for spouses. Pre-registration is required - no tickets will be sold at the door the day of the show.
Nordic Knives will host an excellent lunch during the show, and also our legendary BBQ and wine event at the Gainey Vineyard in the evening after the show. If you are a serious buyer and are interested in attending the show, please contact Dave Harvey at Nordic Knives for an invitation.
I am privileged to have worked with nearly every maker here, and this event is something special to commit to. I'm fortunate. Dave Harvey has been very accomodating to me for this opportunity. :thumbup:
I am flying out on Thurs, renting an SUV, setting up on Friday, and will work Friday eve and early Sat morning. (I may be set up in the show hall, so ALL will be finished an hour before the doors open.) Leaving back to NY on tues eve redeye.
If you are going to this show, Dave and the makers look forward to your presence, and I look forward to your handshake.
I'll post updates, and of course an array of incredible knives in this thread after they are finished.
Stay posted!
