Atlanta Blade Show June 6-7-8 2025
- Thread starter Winterborne
- Start date
I've got all excited to be there, BUT when I saw the ticket's pricing, I think I am good... 
It is worth it in my opinion considering it is a huge event.
I don't go every year but every time I have met some awesome people...some celebrities some not.
I go every two or three years unless I am required to work.
It is not for everyone and definitely not if you hate crowds like I do.
I like to go in on Friday and I am wiped out in about 4 hours so I take a break to eat/relax then hit anything I may have missed.
Back in the day I would meet lots of old friends from all over the world and make a weekend of it.
Sadly now that I'm a lot older most of the old crew are dead and gone...and I can't hang like I use to.
Saturdays are horrible and if it's my only day I won't even show up till after lunch.
My first time the line to get in was two hours so you have been warned.
I think anyone into blades/knives should go at least once.
It is a huge show and you will be there a while.

Well, thanks for your nice post. I will think about it, I may go, since I've not been there yet. At least can get a bunch of knife makers' contact. And yes, I am a knife lover (I have too many!! lol)
Went a couple of times years ago...
Parking was a hassle, crowds were a hassle, bunch of dumbasses acting like they'd never been to a show before... couldn't get near some of the tables.

I'd like to go on Sunday, but I'm not sure if I'll make the show or not. I'm looking to find a old Cold Steel knife that I bought 20 or so years ago. It's always a neat show, with tons of stuff to look at.
