This is a pretty good sized show that they have in Eugene OR at the Lane Center each year.
There are 300+ tables with about half hand made knives and half collectible knives.
I try to go each year. If you go to the show you will see me along the back wall.
Eugene is a college town with some fun restaurants and kind of an artsy atmosphere.
I usually stay an extra day so we can wonder around the shops down town.
This is the official show info that I copied from the OKCA web site.
