The Knives Illustrated 2010
SPIRIT OF STEEL KNIFE SHOW

Click here for your table reservation form!

This show is a homecoming for us--we attended some great shows at this hotel back when it was the Hyatt-Regency, and Knoxville was home to several Blade Shows when we were producing that show. The Marriott is next door to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, and convenient to the National Knife Museum, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is a convenient location with a 1 day drive of over 60% of the nation's population.

Booths available or manufacturers. Handmade section. Door prizes.

Join Gary Blanchard, Gil Hibben, Great Eastern Knives, Blue Ridge Knives, the National Knife Collectors Association, J. Bruce Voyles, Auctioneers, Jim Sargent, Les Robertson, Bob Neal and hundreds more exhibitors at this New show in a long enjoyed location.

Also Usual Suspect Network members and NKCA members admitted with special discounts.

plus any Police, Fire, EMT, or U. S. Military FREE with valid ID.

A MOMENT OF SILENCE AND REMEMBERANCE PLEASE:
Since our last show in Texas we have lost two of our long time exhibitors there, Robert Jestrop and Robert Blassengame. Please take a monment when you read this and give a moment off silence in their honor.

Combining ALL aspects of the family of knives, ranging from our brother knife enthusiasts of our own interest and specialty to that distant cousin whose knife interests we only get to browse on rare occasions.

Our goal at SOS is not to merely sell tables.  A good show should be an event—and we request your attendance and to help create just such a celebration-- something unique in the world of knives—a show at which everyone is welcome to celebrate the wonder and joy of knives.

To that end we are restricting the number of tables in certain sections to insure we have a fair balance of all knife categories: handmade, stock removal, vintage, military, collections, etc.  Yes, we know this is alien to some show promoters who only want to fill up the room with “their” kind of people and forget about the public—and indirectly forget about promoting the knife experience to newcomers as well. Together we will take the knife show experience to a new level.
