Just an FYI to anyone local to the area. It's the only knife show I'm aware of in the area.
 
Gator skin easy to get there or protected?
 
It should be commercially available. Don't know if anyone will have it or not. It's been a few years since I've been.
We do have a hunting season on them and they are often processed and the hides sold, not to mention the gator farms as well.
 
^lakeland....polk county.
 
Ok about 1 1/2 hour drive for me. It's bubble not double do able.
Gotta love dictation??
 
We have a gun & knife show every other month here but its really a gun show with a couple venders selling knives off of 5-6 tables. The other 40 tables are gun related.
 
I've never been. looks big. lots of tables. worth a trip. imagine some good bucks might be had. thanks for the heads up St8yd.
 
Was just saying im used to what i just described so it will be great to go to a proper knife show. So whos going? I'll meey you there..... lol
 
It is a nice show. I was there last year and had a great time. It has a good eclectic mix of makers, collectors and dealers, but the scale and location lends itself to a relaxed and interesting environment.

It's been years since I was there..But what made it stand out was how many Custom maker's set up and displayed and sold. The Randall collectors club had a big presence too..
 
Hmm, never even heard of it. I will have to go check it out. Thanks for the heads up.
 
It is considered 'The Show' for Florida Custom knife makers. The last time I went some truly great bargains were found..
 
who went Friday and today..what'd ya see buck wise what did ya get?
 
I went down this morning anticipating I'd only be a couple hours. Got there at 9 when it opened so I could get back and tend to things this afternoon. Well didn't leave until 2 pm, 5 hrs.
Picked up some impala jigged buffalo horn and some mammoth tooth.
Saw a couple unusual ones, a 619 with the saw teeth on the spine and serrations on the clip point, also what looked like a Buckmaster in with a skeletonized handle, rubber dipped, in the Buckmaster sheath. Gene was there and another BCCI member from Chicago (sorry I'm bad with names) They both had the most Bucks, but there were others with bucks as well. Almost bought a couple, but refrained.
Lot of makers there with some nice knives.
Sent Makeal a pic of the gator hide that was there.

Is it the same stuff each day? I am planning on going tomorrow, I hope there’s still some stuff to see.
