Blade Show 2025

I'll see you there. Got my early bird ticket and hoping I can get to the Strider booth before every single knife is gone (which apparently happens within minutes). I know early bird admission is at 10 but wondering what time the line to get in starts forming outside for early bird admissions? Anyone have any idea what time I should be there to get a good spot in line?

I had an early bird ticket..... stood in line at 8am


I was far from the entrance lol

Last year people were camping in line starting on Monday the week of the show...

That's crazy.

That's crazy.

Well......you know how those knife people are

 

[snuffle]

That's crazy.

The weirdest version of this I've heard of is that there are multiple businesses you can pay to stand in line for you to hear Supreme Court cases.

Courtroom access: Line-standing businesses save spots in the public line

Editor’s note: On April 13, the Supreme Court announced that it would conduct 10 oral arguments via telephone conference on several days in May in cases whose oral argument dates […]

That is some Douglas Adams level absurdity

I got in line at about 6:00-6:30 last year and I was shocked at how many people were already snaking through the whole entire parking lot. If you want to have a shot to be at any of the booths as part of the first group to get there, you have be willing to show up early and sit/stand for a while…

I really like knives. But not enough to wait Black Friday style.

I’ve never been in line there before about 8:00, but I’ve still managed to get to The table in time to score some great options. Last year I didn’t have an early bird ticket and The table still had plenty of options when I got there.

USCBP is getting very aggressive when it comes to searching people's phones, among other things. Canadians face the possibility of detention by the US if denied access across the border.

I'm out over $800 for catching some kind of bad, weird flu to bail on my trip to Nathan and Jo's for the annual shindig last year, and was hoping to recoup part of my flight credit by going this year, but things are deteriorating so much that I think there is little possibility of me crossing that border any time soon.

I wish this were an LOL situation, but it's all very scary and bad

I've crossed the border numerous times in the last few months, it was business as usual. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Maybe not what you had in mind, but I’ll have a handful of sheaths with me even though I don’t have a table this year.

These are Reapers & EDC’s
