The 2009 Blade Show, which was held this year in Atlanta (May 29-31st), was billed as "the world's biggest knife show." National groups, including the American Bladesmith Society and Knifemaker Guild, meet every year at the Blade show.
The awards given at the show are prestigious, with categories for custom knives as well as manufactured. Lone Wolf had two knives that won awards: the Blackfoot won Best Buy of the Year, and the Paul Defender won Best Overall Knife of the Year. You might remember me talking about the latter of those in my last post.
All of the knives that garnered awards can be viewed in an upcoming issue of Blade Magazine. It's always a really fun issue; I highly recommend picking up a copy.
Speaking of the Knifemaker Guild, don't forget that their annual Guild Show is in Louisville this year. It'll be held at the Seelbach from September 18-20th. To see a list of table holders and print out a free pass, check out their website.
