lost okieLittle Rock Knife Show
The Arkansas Knife Makers Show is this weekend in Little Rock at the Robinson Center on 426 W. Markam.
Probably the best regional show in the country.
About 150 tables; lots of custom knives and a bunch of top tier makers.
I have a few show passes left. If you want one p.m. me your name and I will leave it at the door for you. Too late for mail.

lost okieSorry; no photos of the show itself; I was working at my table pretty much every minute.
My wife was home puppy sitting.
The show was great. Hunters and bowies dominate this show; but there is a lot of everything else. Sales ranged from very good for some to none for others. Collectors are picking only the best in their price levels.
Knives at 300 to 500 and at 2500 and above seemed to be the movers in the show. the economy has seemed to hurt the mid range buyers; in my opinion.
Lots of fantastic knives, lots of serious collectors, lots of the general public.
Other than the Blade Show this is the must attend show for knifemakers.
