Heading to the BLADE Show?

June 3, 2019

June 7-9, 2019
Cobb Galleria, Atlanta, Georgia

If you’re headed to Atlanta this week for the World’s Largest Knife Show, we’d like to see you!  Stop by AKTI’s Booth #23 (just inside the door to the left).  Pick up the latest information on knife laws and a new knife chamois.

If you’re an exhibitor, we’ll have a Member sign for your to proudly display in your booth or table.

The Annual Meeting of Members is Friday morning at 10 am in Room 103. Please take a few minutes to learn more about AKTI’s legislative initiatives and other issues we’re working on that affect the knife community.

Join us for drinks, food, and fun at 7 pm on Friday evening for the Free to Carry Fundraiser. This year will include A TRIBUTE TO A.G. RUSSELL, a fine gentleman and strong supporter of AKTI.

Live auctioneering by Tommy Clark of custom knives donated by world class knifemakers including  Ed Fowler, Lucas Burnley, Tony Bose, Philip Booth,  Mathew Lerch, Richard Rogers, Brian Tighe, Tom Mayo, Ken Onion, Joe Caswell and others.  With silent auction items donated by over 20 companies, you’ll be sure to find something to take home. Read more

Don’t have a ticket yet? Reserve a ticket here, stop by booth #23 before 5 pm or see you at the door to the Kennesaw Room at the Renaissance Waverly. Follow the signs past the Pit.

Thanks to our Sponsors you’ll enjoy great food!
