Question about Blade show

[chickenplucker]

This will be my first time attending the Blade show in Atlanta. Is this just a show and tell type of show or are all of the manufactures and custom guys actually sellling knives. Also are there any dealers there with used knives? Thanks for the info.

Yep, almost all the knives you see there will be for sale, and bring a good pair of walking shoes, you'll need em. Not really any dealers, mostly tables are reserved for manufacturers and makers.

Thanks Yoda! Walking shoes and spending money right.

I also suggest a bag of some sort. Last two shows I went to I always had my backpack with me to carry stuff.

Actually many dealers are there. The entire column of tables on the far right as you enter the showroom is usually delegated to dealers, most of whom offer vintage production knives along with older and current customs. And there are dealers of "new" custom knives interspersed among the tables of custom makers. And along the perimeter there are dealers for current manufactured knives. It's like a big sampling of everything.

2 Years ago we bought a backpack just to carry the knives.

This year i am putting away like 40-60 dollars a week just for the show.
Its kick ass cause i live like 5 min away from it.
