2011 Knifemaker’s Guild Show

Posted by & filed under Tactical Knives.

While the annual Custom Knifemaker’s Guild show is better known for high-end art blades and one-of-a-kind investment knives, there are always a number of good, practical tactical pieces scattered around the tables if you hunt for them. TK staff photographer Terrill Hoffman shot these hot tacs at the September 2011 event in Louisville, Kentucky. The 2012 show will be September 13, 14, 15, 16th at the Seelbach Hilton Hotel, 500 Fourth St., Louisville, Kentucky 40202; 502-585-3200. Contact: Lowell Bray Jr.; 727-846-0830
