That is what I was looking for at gun shows... USA, Germany, Japan, England and quality along those lines. Not so much these days from what I have seen

I remember when Anza Knives used to sell at shows in Arizona, but not anymore from recent observations. About 15 years ago I went crazy and I bought a bunch of Anzas from the rep. I love USA-made knives. Those Anzas seemed to be a great deal ... at the time..

I setup at a couple gun shows a year, here local but I already have seven tables of firearms, but last show I had one small 3x3 display of knives….sold 8 new Case folders, a Bradford Guardian, a few Bowie knives three Spyderco knives, and a couple Benchmade knives. But having the small display did bring in a bunch of trades and I think I even bought a small collection from one guy. Also moved a USA made automatic knife. I do have the brick and mortar store (gun shop) that allows me to purchase most brands though.
Blue Ridge does not have a minimum to buy.(to me anyway) but orders over $1000 gets you free shipping, and it don’t bother me at all to order 8 - 10 different knives, I never buy 20 of one pattern, mostly one of this and one of that. I’m sure they would prefer me order 5-6000 dollar orders but never had a issue of buying $1000 order or just a single knife that someone wanted, you just have to price in the shipping. And it seems they only charge actual shipping cost,I’ve never seen any of my invoices have a package charge.

Having over 20 of any pattern seems to me to mean you have a bunch of extras sitting around... FOREVER! .... That's what happend to me

I go to gun shows mainly looking for knives...maybe a tomahawk or other type of axe. For me the shows have changed. I just don't enjoy them anymore...

How about this question... are gun shows LESS fun for you nowadays or are they just as good as they used to be?

Has Gun Broker and Ebay ruined the gun show?

In my opinion this would be a great topic to post on a separate thread. I think it would get a lot of input.
