Any knife excitement in South Cal. next week

Diggerdog · Jan 14, 2006

I'm going to be in south California next week. Is there anything going on that a knife addict would want to catch in L.A. or San Diego. Thanks. Dave

Not that I know of. Usually there isn't anything going on here knife-event-wise. Once in a blue moon, there's a gun show (where there are some knife tables) a couple times a year but not in the next couple months as far as I know.

Do we get good prices at shows down here?

In Los Angeles you may be able to catch a knifing or robbery at knifepoint.

Crossroads Gun Show will be in Del Mar the 21st and 22nd. There should be a few tables of knives but the prices aren't the best.

You can also stop by Plaza Cutlery in Costa Mesa.

Stay away from all the Advance Cutlery stores in the malls, The prices in there are ludicrous. Even the cheap chinese knock-offs are over priced.

I noticed that about advanced. I think their prices are 10-20% above msrp.

The most exciting SoCal knife related event I can think for next week is that I am expecting a UPS package from Smokey Mountain.

You guys are forgetting the Feb. show in Pasadena. Unfortunately, Knife Expo '06 is Feb. 24-26.

Yeah, the Knife Expo is a nice event. Unfortunately, SoCal Blades, the host, also boasts the worst website in the history of the internet. So, if you do wish to attend the '06 show, the site will tell you when, but not where. That text superposition problem, BTW, has been like that for at least a year.

Superimposed in firefox but works ok in IE.
