But for me, getting out to some of the big shows are still worth the drive, especially to be able to see and hold rare old knives, and ask questions with the experts. If you are able, there are great shows in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Missouri, Florida, Oklahoma, Georgia, etc.
Is there a place on here where big shows are posted? My son is stationed at Ft. Myer, Va., he is a casket barrer at Arlington Cemetery. So I could possibly schedule a visit & a knife show.
Usually when a show gets closer, someone posts a thread asking who is going. But here is a list of some big shows East of the Mississippi River that you can look into. Some of these have been hit/miss since Covid. I haven't been to all of them, but I'd like to some day check out each one at least once.

Gator Cutlery Show in Lakeland, Florida in January
Keystone Blade Show in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania in February
TarHeel Club show in Hamptonville, North Carolina in March
Dalton Knife Show in Dalton, Georgia in March
Badger Knife Show in Madison, Wisconsin in March
Shenandoah Knife Show in Harrisonburg, Virginia in April
Bowling Green Knife Show in Bowling Green, Ohio in April
Lehigh Valley Show in Easton, Pennsylvania in April
Mason Dixon Show in WIlliamsport, Maryland in April
Northeast Knife Show in Danvers, Massachusetts in April
Indiana Collectors Show in Muncie, Indiana in May
**supposed to be a new big show in Lexington, Kentucky in May, details not finalized yet
Belleville Knife Expo in Belleville, Illinois in July
Little Valley Knife Show in Little Valley, New York in July
Central Kentucky Knife Show in Lexington, Kentucky in August
Titusville Knife Show in Pleasantville, Pennsylvania in August
Allegheny Knife Show in New Stanton, Pennsylvania in October
Spirit of Steel Show in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee in November
I will be watching for that thank you

Good question....I don't believe so......Roger was referring to Mark Zalesky who is the owner of Knife Magazine.......It's a must-read if you want to keep your finger on the pulse of the industry plus it gives you access to all the old Knife Magazine and the publication that preceded it; Knife World.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info. I would probably enjoy the past article on old knives enough to justify getting it.

I agree, it's a great magazine. Well worth the cost, and access to back issues is even better. Mark is a great guy too, a fellow knife collector, and someone who really cares about the knife industry.

I subscribe, and, yes, it’s a very good magazine. I just wish there was more on pocket knives.
