PLAZA CUTLERY 2011 IN-STORE SHOW
|
"Plaza Cutlery Custom Knife Show" UPDATE 9-29-2010
Saturday October 2nd and Sunday October 3rd 2010
The "Plaza Cutlery Custom Knife Show"
will be held on Saturday October 2nd and Sunday the 3rd, 2010
This show will be a return of the old
"California Custom Knife Show" format and will be held at the Costa Mesa
Hilton which hosted our show 2 years ago and also held the last "California
Custom Knife Show". We can get 66 tables in the show so that will be
the maximum.
One difference is each knife maker will be asked to sign a pledge that they will not sell any knives till the show opens to the public and then wait 10 minutes so everyone has a chance to get to the knife maker they want to see. Some knife maker such as John Young, Ernie Emerson and Ken Onion will do drawings a little later after opening. Each maker at 10:10 will then sell his knives and if more then one person wants the same knife they will do a drawing for that knife. Each maker will have a deck of "Plaza Cutlery" playing cards. Hopefully each person gets what they want if you are there first thing. We will also post the names of the makers below who make the pledge and the one's we know will need to do a drawing below next to their names. This way the dealers will not buy everything up, me included! :) We want you at the show and to be able to get a knife! This will not included knife makers who are delivering your knife at the show so they do not have to ship it.
This will be the same format as our old
"California Custom Knife Show"
and will be held every year in the fall each year. This show will be about
60 tables and we hope to increase each year. The show will be held in
the same room as this past show with an out door balcony. It is located on
the lobby level behind the coffee shop.
Tables are open to knife makers, scrimshanders,
engravers, Mid-tech manufacturers, dealers and collectors. No factory knives or sharing of tables.
If interested in a table please email me at dan@plazacutlery.com . Payment is at the door and is $15 per-person or $25 for a two day pass. Cash only, no credit cards or checks. Parking is at a reduced rate just tell the attended you are her for the Plaza Cutlery Knife Show!
