Collectors
Corner
All
EXPO attendees are invited to participate in our Collectors Corner. This is a
great opportunity to meet other collectors and forged
blade enthusiasts.
The Collectors Corner will be
available between
4 pm
and
6 pm
on Saturday for collectors who wish to participate.
Each collector can bring up to 3 knives made by ABS Smiths to
display, sell or trade. Since 1976, the forged
blade and the ABS have been bringing people together and we hope this
Collectors Corner will be one more opportunity for you to experience this
fascinating art form and enjoy the friendship associated with it.
