Quite the opposite. This is the big annual two day show and like all NCCA shows the public is invited.

This show has 83 tables. Some of them the members use to display their personal collections, some of which are quite old and extensive. The majority of the tables are custom makers, purveyers, knife merchants and support sales such as steel, handle material, sheaths, etc.

Come on over. Its a fun time.

This is how I look at these shows. It is fun, you can see and handle many knives, you never saw before, but was thinking about. Also always you can find something nice at affordable price. I went there for last three years and like them a lot. Brought back home few nice pieces.

Well, I checked out the show and saw some really neat stuff there. My favorite was a pocket-sized fixed blade with mammoth ivory, but it was a bit out of my range at the moment. There were also some great traditional slippy collections.

I came away with a pretty modest purchase: a Boker Subcom. Awhile back I had traded away what one-handed folders I had, but I decided it might be nice to have one around afterall. The Subcom is small and flat, and easy-carrying. If I took the clip off, it could go in my wallet.
