TimeOut

Hello dear friends! As many friends here know, besides being a watch lover and collector I also have other passions … and obsessions, e.g. knives and guns (both antique and modern) and pens. Regarding knives I have been collecting them for a bit more than...  

Muchas Gracias!! Abrazos!

Following pictures taken during the three days … When the doors open the aficionados rush inside to get their treasures. Some awesome people abound… Antique Bowie knives… Knife prices can be as low as 20 bucks up to six digits prices, amounts which can bu...  

For a second I was expecting Vampires and Wesley Snipes!

Thank you for viewing Arronax!

… amazing universe indeed. Thousands of different models, prices and uses: working knives, and collectible ones. A whole big World!

😂😂😂

I have more knives than a guy should have, mostly all are for hunting/field care and fishing. Honestly about the only one that sees any use anymore is my Swiss Army knife.

I feel a man or woman only needs three or four knives for his/her whole life but if you are really interested in them or you became a collector you never have enough. Truth is that a Swiss Army pocket knife is a very useful cutting tool offering some addi... 

And this universe is quite fascinating. Thank you for sharing these photos, dear Abel. Best, Emmanuel

Agree this world of knives is fascinating and I have devoted more than fifty years to study, collect and write about them. Guess all objects are fascinating when you learn about them and are driven to collect them. You know well the feeling! Agree that th... 

I'm definitely a big fan of well made blades. Who is the maker of the first and second pieces shown here ? They look exquisite !

How international are the booths? Do you have European sellers too? Knives are really used and produced worldwide. Thanks for the photos! Best, E.

Most exhibitors come from different parts of the USA but there were a few tables and booth by well known European brands and some artisans too: Helle and Moraknivs from Sweden, Boker Treebrand from Germany, Opinel, from France among some I remember now. A... 

My brother happens to have a 800+ piece collection. I should say, you two should meet 😎

Wow!! A 800 plus collection means your brother is a serious collector! Definitively we should meet some day! Show him this post. May be next year both he and me will be able to assist!! Cheers! Abel

I was unaware of the Blade Show. I am also a fan of pocket knives, in particular, and have a small collection of knives that have caught my eye over the years. I attend the SHOT Show every January and I love visiting the knife vendors who are there. And, ... 

Pocket knives is a very interesting aspect of knife collecting and also a very practical way of having a knife for daily use. I also own a large collection of folding and pocket knives and always have at least one in my EDC. (Or several too! lol!) One of ... 

… Tony Bosé passing was a great loss for the knife community and much more if he was a good friend of yours. I can understand your feelings… meeting with friends, making new ones is a very important part of our hobby both in knives or watches and the enjo... 

I was never interested in knives and this forum showed and shared some info on Laguiole knives and I started looking into them. I got 2 from a specific young person who makes these and considering a 3rd. I was surprised and impressed what some of the make...  

I have a penchant for this French regional folder and I own a fairly large collection of them both antique and modern ones. I love them so much that I traveled to the small town of Laguiole in France to explore the origins of this beautiful knife. There a...  

I never knew there was a knife show ... have a half-dozen nice ones but they are mostly tools to me and just secondarily nice items to handle. Here are a few I saw at a watch event a few years ago. As far as trade shows go, I've bin there, dun that SO SO ...  

… telling me about your past experience with trade shows. Agree that the set up and tear off can get somewhat chaotic. Anyway in the case of Blade Show these things seem to go very smoothly though the guys were doing a hard work against the clock during T...
