Last week or so I read something in a post here (or another forum, can't remember and can't search...) about a knife-show next week in Gembloux in Belgium.
Does anyone here have more info on that show?
For example, the exact address, and what to expect there?
All I could find was this URL:

Thanks,

I don't know if I will get an answer in time, but I asked the question of our distributor in Belgium. When I hear a reply, I'll let you know!

About the distributor of "Chris Reeves Knives" in Belgium, I think that is the company Blade Import. See the internet site : http://www.bladeimport.com
 
Borset, Thanks!
You wouldn't happen to know some good knife-shops in or around Brussel?

Sorry, but I have the feeling that you will not like my answer.

First : I am more attracted by custom knives, so I do not go quite often in knives shop.

Secondly, I am not living near Brussels

Third, my only suggestion is to propose you to look at list of dealers on the internet site of the belgian distributor of Chris Reeves Knives

Borset, no worries.
Number 3 is a good suggestion. Thanks!

Well, I visited the show this weekend. It was mainly custom knife designers. (some very nice ones). I also spotted a couple of Spyderco's and some CRK's. One stand had some small 'one-pieces'. The blade on those was about 2.5"-3" long. The birth certificate said 1989 if I read it correctly.
I picked up a belgium wet-stone to start some free-hand sharpening.
Overall a couple of hours well spent.

A question for Anne, I believe there are some 'big' european knife-shows in Hamburg and Frankfurt in Germany every year. Is CRK represted there?

We are represented in Germany by Haller Stahlwarenhaus - they have been our exclusive distributor for many years. We have never exhibited at any shows in Germany but I am pretty sure that Haller does exhibit at them.

Sorry I can't answer your question more specifically - perhaps you would like to contact them direct http://www.haller-stahlwaren.de/
