I HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT THE ATLANTA SHOW FOR MANY YEARS BUT HAVE NEVER MADE IT. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IT IS THE LARGEST AND BEST SHOW FOR COLLECTING CUSTOM KNIVES THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING MADE BY NEW AND FAMOUS MAKERS. I SUSPECT IT MAY HAVE LOTS OF COLLECTIBLE POCKET AND MILITARY KNIVES ALSO BUT WONDER IF THERE WOULD BE MUCH ETHINOGRAPHIC MATERIAL THERE. LET ME KNOW IF I AM INCORRECT IN THAT ASSUMPTION.
THE FEW TIMES OVER THE YEARS I HAVE FOUND A CUSTOM KNIFE MAKER OR A POCKET KNIFE SELLER IN POSSESION OF A NICE ETHINOGRAPHIC ITEM THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAD IT VASTLY OVERPRICED. THEY ALWAYS HAVE ONLY ONE OR TWO ITEMS WHICH NEVER FIT IN WITH THE REST OF THEIR STOCK. I ALWAYS FOUND THAT INTERESTING BUT NEVER FIGGURED OUT WHY

I AM SURE YOU WILL SEE SOME TOP QUALITY WORK THERE AND HAVE A GOOD TIME. GOOD HUNTING

VANDOO
I agree with you about the strange diversity of most knife show makers/displayer's.
My thinking is that most collectors will in fact collect, buy, any type of blade if the opportunity comes along and most importantly if the price is low enough.
If you look at my avatar you will see three of the daggers I acquired at the last year show in Atlanta. Blade #1, #3, and blade #5 all from the same dealer. On posting dagger #1 here last year, on the forum, I got a nice complement from ARTZI stating, "if I should ever want to get rid of it"..... Now that sir is to me a very strong complement. Also one of my favorites persons will be there, that is
Mr. Pendray the maker of present day Wootz, so along with the thousand of knifes,swords,and daggers for sale the show have many seminars and the walking will do me good. Sort of a hard combination to beat I say. Plus I got a free VIP pass that don't hurt either!
