C & E Gun Shows?

[trane fan]

There is a C & E Gun Show coming to a nearby city at the end of the month. I was wondering if any of the forumites (especially you guys from the Carolinas, Virginia and Tennessee) know if there are many knife dealers at C & E shows? If so, can you recommend any one in particular? Thanks in advance for the help.

There are usually 2-3 knife smiths at the shows and another 4-5 dealers- this does vary from city to city though. Edmund Davidson(Goshen,Va) still makes a few shows and he grinds some nice blades. Frank Sams no longer grinds knives but small utility fixed blades marked SAMS are good stuff.

I use to go to the C&E Gun show in Fayettville all the time when I was at Ft Bragg. There use to be alot of dealers but it's been getting smaller and smaller. Prices vary on the knives from "damn thats a good price" all the way up to "Your Smoking Crack". Thats just at the Fayettville show. I hear the one in Charlotte is alot better.
