The Las Vegas Custom Knife Show is about 6 weeks away. Last year they had a web site up so that you could see what makers were coming to the show. There is no more site.

I would like to see who is coming so that I can start trying to decide before I get in there and get all dazzled. There were a lot of people and some makers sold out quick. This is one of my only chances to examine the knives I see on the net with buying them all.

These are the sellers I can remember from last year.
Les Robertson
Ken Onion (he was one of those that sold out quick)
Pat Crawford
Mike Irie
Whiskers Allen
Darrel Ralph
Allen Elishwitz

Last years show was my first custom knife show and I was dazzled by all the sharp objects. If I did not remember you from last year, please forgive.

Hi Bo,

I just left a message with the show promoter about the web site.

If you look in any of the knife magazines you can get a complete list of who is attending.

This is the premier custom knife show west of the Mississippi. The show is over 100 tables. Featuring some of the best makers in the world, suppliers, scrimshanders and engravers.

Oh, almost forgot, some of the best custom knife dealers in the world.

Please note this is a custom knife show. So there will be no factory knives at the show.

This year the show is at:

The Riveria Hotel
2901 Las Vegas Blvd South
Las Vegas NV
1-800-634-6753

The Show hours are:
Friday Feb 2nd 4-9
Saturday Feb 3rd 9-5
Sunday Feb 4th 9-3

Show promoters are:
Larry Gray 775 553-2323
JW McFarland 520-855-8093

Hope to see you there.

Thanks Les, I have seen the ad but not the one with the list. I will go find one with the list.
 
Bo,
you are a lucky guy.
A class show in your city.
If I'd live in Vegas I'll attend anyway.

Greetings

I'll be there again. It's a great show ,however I won't have as many knives 20-30 max. I can't wait to see everyone again ,think about it , three days of non stop knives and knife conversation ...I dig it.

Hope to see you all there come by and say Hi! Tirekickers are welcome.
 
Great Show! I went a couple of years ago and got a nice Bud Nealy and Kit Carson and the friend I went with got $10,000 from a slot machine. He paid for my hotel and airfare but I couldn't talk him into paying for the knives.
 
The Las Vegas Classic is without a doubt, the finest custom knife show in the west.

Janet and I have taken our 4 adult siblings every year and each year want to know if we are going again. The answer is always. "yes"!

Wally McFarlin & Larry Gray and their wives work long and hard on this show as it is their only show. They make it happen! It is a show with class!

If you can - go!

John

Ken,
I handled a couple of yours last year, this year I hope to own one.

Kit and Aurther, I am looking forward to seeing in person what I have been drooling over on the internet.

Thanks
 
Be sure to stop by Todd Kopps table. He brought some of the stuff he is taking to the show, to our AKCA knife club meeting Tuesday. Some of the most beautifull Ivory handled daggers you will ever see. Fluted, Inlays, Blued you name it. They are NEAT. He is also working on a Damascus folder. Worth seeking his table out believe me

Can't wait! I wish I had more funds to facilitate the ensuing spending frenzy!
