Maryland Knife shows December 2013

[silenthunterstudios]

I just wanted to bring two knife shows in Maryland to everyone's attention. I'm sure most of the MD/PA/VA/DE/NJ natives out there have heard of the Chesapeake Knife Show in Timonium. Best knife show I've been to, but I've only been to a few of them. Still, it is a treat to see old friends, make new ones and get some fine knives. Custom, tactical and a little bit of old timey, with some good maker and manufacturer representation. Spartan Knives, Bob Dozier, Bill Harsey, Ryan Daniels from Queen and a few others. Lots of dealers with some good prices. I always do a lot of trading there. The other one is a show at the William F Moran museum about a week later. I have driven past this shop many times, but have never been inside. They will be participating in the Frederick County Museums by Candlelight tour, open during the day, and will have forging demonstrations. Jay Hendrickson is part of the Museums board, so I expect to see plenty of knife makers forging there.

Here's the information.

The Shop will be open as part of the Frederick Tourism’s “Museums by Candlelight” which includes all Frederick County Museums. The day will include forging demonstrations, and a tour of the Shop Museum. There will be Foundation sale items, such as the “Master of the Forge” book and Spyderco knives, designed by Bill. In addition, refreshments will be served.

The local Baltimore city paper usually has a coupon for admittance to the Chesapeake show, which knocks a few dollars off the admission price.

Well tomorrow will be a fun day filled with snow, ice, sleet and freezing rain. Getting 50lbs of sand to put in the bed of my truck but I imagine there will be no knife show for me. Unless we luck out and get all rain or all snow.

8" of snow getting a nice coating of ice now. Hope everyone at the show has a good time. I'm at home dreaming of sharp stuff.
