San Francisco area knife shows?

[matthew rapaport]

Just wondering if anyone can point me at a calendar. I haven't heard of any SF Bay Area custom knife shows in a while. It seems the SF knife exchange has closed, and the San Jose show hasn't taken place in a few years (least they stopped sending me flyers). I'm not particularly interested in the combination gun/knife shows as you don't tend to see a lot of custom quality knives at those shows, but rather the more traditional custom shows... Is anyone aware of any in the greater bay area?

Thanks for any pointers.

I'd be interested too.
Last time (well my first one too) I've seen a show here was BACKA fall 00. Was very cool

Haven't seen all the folks I'd like to meet, but still, there were a lot of famous knife guys

Picked up a few nice blades.

the new prez failed to mention that they still have the BAKCA show EVERY year, usually in late OCT...and they move the location around, usually in the South Bay area somewhere above San Jose....I am planning on going this year, so send me some info mr nifrand, thanks.....

That's the one I was refering to.
I think that was in South SF. Dont' remember the exact location, some convention center IMHO.
Your friends from Strider were there too last year
