A Little Late: Madrid Knife Show

[Ivan Campos]

Seeing thé post about the Toronto Show, I noticed that I had forgot ton post thé pics of thé Madrid knife Show, that was held a month ago and where I was one of the exhibitors.
It was my first knife show in about 15 years and quite a départîtes from the American and Brazilian shows.
Sorry for the not so good pics and the lack of descriptions but I was alone at my table and thé show was crowded most of the time só I had very little Time for that.

Never made it to the Madrid Knife show when I live in Spain...my only regret from that time.

Thank you for posting! One thing is for sure, I'd be knife-rich and money-poor if I went to knife shows like this one.

I did the Madrid show last year and the EKS show in France this year. Given a choice I would pick the Madrid show every time!

I´d love to go to a show in France. Other Brazilian makers are doing very well in the SICAC and mybe that´s my next show.

Don't overlook the Knife show in Solingen, Germany. It's 25,26 Oct this year, which is weird, because the last two years it was in the spring. Very well attended. https://knife-solingen.eu/

I've posted for the last two.

Thread 'Knife Show, Solingen, Germany 2024'

May 13, 2024

The 2024 Solingen Knife Show was held this past weekend, 11-12 May. There were 220 (more or less) exhibitors, many of whom are not especially well known outside of Europe. I was in the door fairly early, as I wanted to reserve a spot for one of the tours of the Boker facility (which I posted some photos from here https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/touring-the-boker-factory.1987785/). Lines to get in were a couple blocks long before the doors opened. The show center is a two story building and the show uses all of the space, which is why the 2025 show will be held 24-25 October, 2025...

Thread 'Knife Solingen 2023'

May 6, 2023

Got up early this morning and drove up to Solingen to see what the 2023 Knife show had to offer. It was a nice show, very good attendance for the size, with a lot of makers most of us have never seen. So here's my take on it, focusing mainly on stuff I like (older patterns, traditionals, etc). There were not a lot of slipjoints; which kind of surprised me, because there were a fair number of folders on display. The majority was fixed blades, and about 10% of the show was dealer/distributors and another 15% was tools, gadgets, and supplies. the big names like Boker and Wusthoff had booths...
