Knife shows in New Orleans? (March 5- 12)

[Blilious]

Hi everybody!

I will be there during Mardi Gras and wants to use the opportunity to see some fine cutlery.

Addresses of good knife stores will also be very useful.

Thanks in advance.

The big show in New Orleans this year is the Knifemakers Guild show in July. Don't know of anything there in March.

thanks.

Don't know of any except the Remington store at the mall. In fact a good friend of mine lives in the area and is always complaining about having to travel to other locations to a knife store. Don't know where he goes though but it requires an extra effort not just a casual drive. Sorry!

Stab - 10x for your effort.

I also started a string called: "Good knife stores in New Orleans” and two of the guys said:

"Alpine Jewelry store on Veterans Memorial Highway in Metairie just out side New Orleans near the corner of Bonibel. Good selection (only half the store is a jewelery store) and good prices for a retail store. Best I know of here.

So you can tell your friend about it (if he doesn’t know already.

Cheers everyone
