While this is a young show (this will be our 3rd), thanks to a lot of perseverance, dedication and a high dollar ad budget, we have been successful at gaining exhibitors and buyers of both custom and vintage knives, swords, axes, tomahawks, culinary and hunting pieces. It's also the only all knife show in a market that has over one million people. 

Custom Knives are equally important though, which is why we have print & digital ads running in publications such as Blade Magazine and the program guide for the ICCE Show in St. Louis.  Dennis with the Oregon Knife Collectors Club has also been very helpful and gracious about allowing us to place ads in the club newsletter and visit his show in Eugene where we spoke with many people who had positive comments about our show. 

One nice thing is that we're not exactly starting from scratch since the Vintage & Custom Knife Show takes place in its own section of our 900 booth Antique & Collectible Show. With 36 years of history, attendance averages 12,000. We know how to advertise, we treat our exhibitors like gold and understand that the bottom line is, well, the bottom line. 
 

All of the ads for the Antique Show carry the Knife Show message.  The Antique Show is a 34 year old event with a very large and loyal following that includes many people interested in militaria and weapons. It also has a huge advertising budget that will be shared with The Custom Knife Show.   The Antique Show sustains a very steady attendance of 12,000. 

There is room for you! Tables are $110 for the weekend with a two day setup in advance. Click here for exhibitor information or we would be happy to mail it to you if you'd like to give us a call at (503)282-0877 or shoot an email to  [email protected]. W e'll get it right out.
 

We hope you will consider our invitation to join us and help build this into a strong and successful show in the Portland market.
