What is the big Traditional Knife - Leather Sheath Making event of the year ?

[harronek]

I live in Australia .
I possibly have the opportunity to travel to the USA in the next 12 months .
I am after suggestions as to what over there is the best " Knife - Leather " show to attend .
I'm not talking necessarily talking about the biggest , but what would you recommend as the best ?
I would love to meet and shake the hand of other Blade Forum members if that's a deciding factor.

If you mean "Leather" in particular I don't know of any show that would generate that much specialization. But the number one show to attend to see everything knife related would be the "Blade Show".

If you want specifics about what leather makers are where ask this guy:

SharpByCoop - He photographs many if not most of the custom makers. That is a BF handle so you can find him easily.

Excellent suggestion. Moving from Traditional to "Sheaths and Such"
