The Knife Junkie Newsletter
Hey fellow knife junkies. Happy Sunday.
Today’s podcast, which just went live, features Alicia Newton, show director for Blade Show, which encompasses this year’s 40th anniversary show in Atlanta, Ga. (June 3-5) — the world's largest knife show with over 900 exhibitors from 26 countries — as well as Blade Show West in Salt Lake City, Oct. 7-8, 2022, and Blade Show Texas in Ft. Worth, March 17-18, 2023.
This year’s Blade Show also features seminars, services and Blade University classes. There are also Blade Sports cutting competition, Balisong Flipping Championships, knife sharpening, collecting seminars, self-defense classes and more.
You can find Blade Show at https://bladeshow.com.
Are you going? I am, and I’d love to see you and meet you at the show! Email me and let’s find a time to meet up and chat knives — or perhaps just catch up one evening at “The Pit.”
Audio Podcast
Long-time followers remember that we started this podcast as just that — an audio podcast, before we started the video show. You can still download and follow The Knife Junkie on whatever podcast app you like so that you can listen when you aren’t able to watch. See the links at the bottom of this newsletter to subscribe and follow.
Thursday Night Knives
Don’t forget “Thursday Night Knives” this week, Thursday, May 19, featuring this month's Gentleman Junkie giveaway knife — a Shieldon Boa. We’ll be given it away during this week’s Thursday Night Knives on May 19. There’s still time for you to become a Patron so you're entered.
Featured Knife
This week’s featured knife is the Victorinox: Swiss Tool X.* This Swiss Tool X has what some consider to be the best assortment of tools out there: pliers, saw, file, scissors, and of course a classic main blade, plus so much more all in one versatile tool.
