Portland Custom Knife Show

October 29-30, 2016 - If you’re a knife collector, the Custom Knife Show offers some of the best knives in the country, made by knifemakers with experience and imagination. In addition, there are 850 booths of vintage items from the late 1800s to the 1970s.

Because the show is held in the same hall as a very large Antique & Collectible Show, we don’t have separate attendance numbers, but the show drew 12,000 people over the weekend, beginning with Early Admission on Friday. The antique dealers are very supportive, seeing the value in more and different customers.  And we were interested to find that there were more vintage knives and swords in the show this last time.
