Hello Everyone,

If attending Blade Show, you won't want to miss this as our Banquet & Knife Show has become one of the most popular events at the Show.

Not only is this a great evening with friends, knifemakers and collectors but also an opportunity to meet new fellow enthusiasts, perhaps purchase a special knife and of course great food. The menu is posted on our website and the cost is $48 per attendee.

You do not need to be a member to attend, but must be a member to have the right to buy any of the knife offerings and door prizes.

We have great things planned for this year, and some great 'give-aways' including another giveaway knife (by an international maker member), gift certificates and more so we hope everyone is able to attend.

Last year Audra Draper made an adorable Owl pendant for our new Ladies Door Prize! We wanted to give back to not only our women members but also the supportive ladies of our members! Can't wait to share some great ladies giveaways again!

Announcing Knifemakers for this year's CKCA Mini-Show:

Ben Breda, Kyle Gahagan, Scott Gallagher, David Lisch and Cliff Parker

Thank you to all above knifemakers for your participation. The knives will be posted as soon as we get all photos in (early May).

As a reminder you must be a current CKCA member to drop your name in for any of these knives.
