I went to one 10 years ago... I bought an overpriced "Canary Island Knife" and some beef Jerky. I got to see some of the work of Tony Swatton and that's all I remember from that experience.

I've seen some videos on youtube and it seems it has grown since then. But is it worth the $50 and the drive?
 
I haven't been in a few years. I got tired of going, and seeing half the selling floor reserved for lines to two vendors: Strider and some knuckle fidget company. The fidget companies outnumbered the knife makers. So, unless it's changed, I couldn't recommend it.
