Seattle Knife Show

2nd Annual Seattle International Knife Show.

Friday April 24th - Prefunk @ Dragon Fly Forge, Seattle, WA.

Saturday April 25th & Sunday April 26th, 2015
Hilton Hotel, Bellevue, WA


We are very excited to announce BladeGallery's second Seattle International Knife Show. Our 2014 show was a tremendous amount of fun! This juried show is scheduled for the last weekend in April at the three star Hilton Hotel in Bellevue, WA (just across Lake Washington from Seattle). We are committed to making this among the most prestigious boutique knife shows in the country. For our second show, we again anticipate having between 50 and 60 custom knifemakers from around the world and a select group of suppliers.


Open to the public
Friday April 24th -- Pre-funk at the Forge, 1pm - 6pm*
Saturday April 25th -- noon - 6pm (VIP admission at 11am)
Sunday April 26th -- 10am - 2pm


* Pre-funk at the Forge is being hosted by Journeyman Smith David Lisch at his forge:

Dragon Fly Forge
3600 E Marginal Way South
Studios #3 & #4
Seattle WA 98134


Friday's event is a rare opportunity to hang out and see a working bladesmith's/blacksmith's shop. David will have the forges going in Studio 4 Knifemaking School so makers can show their skills and collectors can try their hand or just watch if they like. There will be forging and knifemaking demos in Studio 3. This is a part of this event not to miss!


Early entrance at 11am on Saturday

Seemed pretty epic last year. Looking forward to a good one this year.

 

Think this is a great excuse for a jaunt to Seattle even for the day.

 

Thanks Bill.

 

I would love to make this show. Maybe I can talk the wife into it. A day at Woodenville and a day of knives. Can't beat that.

Who's making the pilgrimage?

 

I will be there, it was a great show last year and I can't wait for this year.

 

If anyone here is planning on attending the show and would like to be my guest send me pm and I will get you VIP Passes.

 

Come on guys who is coming? I am so excited for this. As a bonus if you show up you can hang out with some of the top kitchen knife makers in the U.S...........................and me.

 

That's a great offer Bill. I wish I was on that coast.

 

Thanks very much bill, looking forward to the show

 

just returned home from one of the greatest shows I have attended. this is a small juried show with some of the top knife makers in the country. Attendance was great with a customer to knife maker ratio that was as good or better than any show I have ever attended. If you missed this show you really missed out.

 

I wish I could have attended Bill , hopefully next year

 

no worries mate you'll make it one day
