This show offers the best in handmade and low production knives! Some of the best knife makers form around the world will be attending this show which is every other year. Makers who produce high-end art knives,  tactical, as well as every day knives. These are not the knives you will see in your local store. These are individuals like you, who make knives part time and in many cases full time. Some makers even have to have a lottery so that everyone has an equal chance to buy their knives, so ask before entering your name. Many knives have special steel used in the blade as well as special handle materials such as: mammoth ivory, pearl, rare woods, and even gold and silver inlays. If you have had an interest in knives this is a good opportunity to see the high-end side of the industry!

There will not be anyone in attendance who can appraise old knives. It is not that kind of show. If you look at Plaza Cutlery's website, which you are on, and go to the top left corner and click on "Custom Knives" you can look through and see many different styles of knives that can possibly be at the show. The neat thing about a show is you never know what the guys will make. Any questions ask for Dan or most anyone at a table will be happy to help and explain things to you. A list of attendees is below.

 

Thank you,

Exhibitor Info:

This show is open to custom knife makers, dealers, suppliers, collectors, & manufactures. Dealers can deal in factory, (new and old) or custom knives, or kitchen cutlery. To be honest we are doing everything in order to put forth a great show, but in reality it will also be a vacation for us too. Please do not sign up expecting anything more than a good time. We will give it a good shot, and we did have a great show last time for many of the exhibitors but this is new ground for us! We do need money to do a few ads, and pay for the room.

 

Exhibitor requirements for Non-Hawaiian based exhibitors is 3 nights at the Hilton. They have given excellent rates, or you can also use any package from the Hilton, or with an airline, but you must spend at least 3 nights at the Hilton Hawaiian Village for us to make our block. You can also stay longer. It is a fabulous property! Pam and I always stay here when in Honolulu! Same rates can be used by collectors, and buyers also! Anyone else going if you are staying the Hilton please give me your name so we can get credit. This does not change your deal, and locals can get the "local boy deal" but we just need names to get credit for bringing the hotel business.

 

For Room Reservations:

Room reservations are for exhibitors, collectors or anyone wishing to use our room rate. Reservations can be made with either the Hilton National Reservations, 800-445-8667, or through the hotel directly at 808-949-4321, or online below on the event board link at the bottom of this page.

The room rate is $200 a night for  a standard room or you can upgrade at an additional charge.
