Custom Knife Dealers Attending (these guys alone make the show worth going to): Steve Berg (Pen and Sword), David Cohen, Bob Neal, Jerry Schroder, Gary Shaw, Hank Rummell, Jack Feder, Hugh Lowe and of course me!
Ladies and Gentlemen, this show has some world class makers. Also, what the show lacks in name makers (not quality work), it more than makes up for in the quality of the dealers that will be there. These gentlemen have been responsible for the sales of well over 30 million (thats right million) dollars worth of custom knives. Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt and then sold it (at a profit I might add ;-)
The show opens promptly at 10am, do not be late. The customers that attend this show take it very seriously. They start lining up before 930am. Also, dont forget to bring your money, checks, credit cards or whatever you plan to pay with. The first 4 hours of this show is a feeding frenzy, "Be Backs" are usually disappointed as the knife they were going to think about is usually gone when they return. Its a small show but a good one.
Admission is $6.00
My only gripe is that they do let a small percentage of factory knives in the room! Oh well no show is perfect.
If you make it stop by and say hi!
The show is at the Timonium Plaza Holiday Inn
at 2004 Greenspring Drive, Timonium MD.
Phone number is (410)252-7373
Show Hours are 10am - 6pm Sunday Dec 13th.
A word of advice, come 430pm alot of the table holders start to pack up!
Hope to see you there.
