The 2010 Knifemakers Guild Show is fast approaching. Sept 17-19 at the Seelbach Hilton Hotel in downtown Louisville, KY.

This is one of the premier all-custom knife shows in the world. Over 125 exhibitors. All knives for sale are handmade customs made by Guild Members from around the world.

This is a rare opportunity to meet and see the work of some of the master knifemakers who seldom attend shows in the U.S. Besides some legendary names in knifemaking, we have makers from across the U.S., Canada, South Africa, Japan and Italy.

You can print free show passes at Knifemakers Guild

As much as I would like to do this it wont be this year. I am already loaded up. Maybe next year though. Thanks for bringing this to everyones attention.
