Blade Show

The
Blade Show
is an annual trade show for the knife industry.

It is the largest knife event in the world and for a maker and a knife enthusiast it is an event that represents in some way a small dream especially for those who are in Europe and do not easily have the opportunity to travel to see the Show.

Even more beautiful is a maker’s dream to participate in an event of that magnitude where you can definitely live an important experience.

My advice for those who want to attend the Show is to organize a sightseeing visit to Atlanta in the United States on the dates of the Blade Show to unite in this way the useful and the enjoyable because I understand that taking a trip just to participate in the event is not for everyone.

The show is sponsored by Blade Magazine and is also where famous makers who enter the annual Hall of Fame are hosted.

BLADE® Magazine

BLADE® Magazine is the world’s number one knife publication.

It is also the oldest knife magazine in the world, publishing its first issue in 1973.

In collaboration with the BLADE Show, he has sponsored the Knife of the Year® Awards every year since 1982.

The awards are the most coveted honors in the industrial knife industry and are voted by the exhibitors of the stand at the BLADE Show, which this year are more than 200.

Only exhibitors of the BLADE Show booth can participate.

The History of the Blade Show

The first Blade Show was held in 1982 as the American Blade Convention and Show in Cincinnati, Ohio.

We’re talking about almost 40 years of knife shows and at that time the magazine was known as “American Blade” and not as Blade Magazine.

• 1983 became known as “The American Blade Collector’s Show”.
• 1984 the name became “The Blade Super Show”.
• In 1986, the show moved to Knoxville, Tennessee.
• 1988, the name was changed to Blade Show & Cutlery Fair and became vaguely called the Blade Show.
• 1993 the show moved to Atlanta, Georgia, and became officially known as The Blade Show.
• To date, the Blade Show 2022, is the largest knife fair in the world.
