There's a knife and gun show this weekend in Portland. Since I was going anyway...is it likely there are any RAT dealers attending these types of shows around the country? It's be nice to get a feel for the -3 and Izula before I buy them.

I found one dealer at a gun show in Phoenix. Close to list price but did get to handle and check them out.

For those in the Mid-Atlantic area, I usually have a selection of RATs on my tables - I can be found at most Maryland Gun Shows. :)
 
I've gone to a few gun shows this year, one in Raleigh, Savannah and Jacksonville florida. Never come across a table with RAT's at it.
 
The only Knife dealer that had RATs at the Dallas Market Hall Gun Show (THE BIG ONE) was Beckwith's Blades. THis was a few weeks ago. Finally Got to hold an RC3 and RC5.

I almost bought my izula from them at the High Caliber show in Houston last week. my cousin is good friends with the owners, but they were a little over priced. great company though. real nice people.
 
there's an "antique" arms show in kansas city this wkend. it typically has quite a few knife dealers and new stuf too. maybe some rats, maybe not. would be nice to fondle some of the other models... shld be a good show.
 
I may have to wander over to that Sadiejane - where in KC?
Trade center by the airport or the one at 115 & Metcalf?
 
those look like the same show listed twice.
I'll have to see what our roads are like Saturday - could be a good way to burn a few hours while it's too cold to go outside and play.

man knife shows sound fun. in SoCal we only have gun shows. at least they have some knives there. but i have yet to see an RC at any show.

Where is that show at? I'm new to Portland and have no idea where the Jackson Armory is...

I would also love to see RATs being sold at local shows. I know the Oregon Knife Collectors Associate is having their annual show April 17,18. Maybe a RAT rep could make an appearance??? :D
 
if yr in portland or, you shld check out this place

tho they do specialize in japanese cutlery, they have a nice selection of other style production n handmade knives, including a cupla local guys.
maybe they would start carrying rc knives, if enuf folks ask about em. it would be a good fit with what they do.
 
Anybody know of any good shows that come through North Carolina? Plenty of gun shows in the Raleigh-Durham area but seems to be a little lacking in quality knives as far as I can tell.
