The Oregon Knife Show, 2023!!!

[315]

I had intended to go since it’s a mere 4 hours away. But a trip to help evaluate Dad’s health and mobility is needed so not possible this year. One of these days…

 

[Rhidian]

See you there Charlie! And everyone else who can make it. My first show! Table T3

 

[eisman]

I just took a job in Germany so I'll miss the nest three years. Wish I could go, but I'll see what's local over here.

 

[waynorth]

the flyer says i can fly there! but will i have to rent a car?

Probably a good idea!!

 

[waynorth]

Is the Oregon Knife Show always at the same location waynorth ?

Yes!! And it's not far from the train station in Eugene!!

 

[waynorth]

Going out the door to the show!! See y'all soon!!!

 

[Jolipapa]

Google Maps shows it's 1.4 miles from the Eugene station to the Lane Events Center. Eminently walkable, and just the thing after a long train ride.

To the show maybe, but what after, loaded with knives?

 

[5K Qs]

There is that.

 

[mrknife]

There is that.

i suppose its like blade? Ive read you can always just ship the knives out, there is a usps easily accessible. That would be really convenient especially for a convention of that size. The NYCKS is much smaller, so I dont recall that service being offered when i had attended.

 

[BigKurtHaze]

I will be there Saturday. Looking forward to it.

 

[Campbellclanman]

One day.......soon.

 

[mrknife]

One day.......soon.

if we plan this right, it could be the great forum reunion tour!

"I know a hawk from a handsaw...."

Or is this a Hitchcock allusion?

I've always wanted to see your Empire display (and you) in person but the updated photo looks great. Sure wish I could make it, sounds incredible, so happy you are able to go again Charlie!

"I know a hawk from a handsaw...."

Vince, for me it was a Hitchcock allusion.
I wasn't even aware of the Hamlet connection until I googled your quote. And then I ran into serious Shakespeare commentators who went on and on about whether "hawk" and "handsaw" were both birds or whether both were tools! I'm in way over my head! And I never dreamed that the title of the Hitchcock film may have been inspired by a fuller version of this quote from Hamlet (although Hitchcock apparently debunked that view).
Who knew that pocket knives could lead to so much knowledge/speculation???

While there are many great knife shows throughout the United States, the Eugene show has always been my favorite.
A huge selection of knives is certainly a draw, but the wonderful people who put on that show and all who set up there really make it a first class event.
I look forward to seeing my old friends as well as new ones in a few days.

 

[TheIncredibleHoke]

I hope you guys and gals take lots of pictures for those of us who can’t go. I haven’t been to a knife show since I was a kid. Was always one of my favorite things to do besides rock and mineral shows.

It's back? Dangit!! Next year . . .

 

[Sidehill Gouger]

I'll be there but I have to say all these "next year, some day' comments are bothering me.
