CKG Knife Show 2009
A couple weekends ago I was at the annual Canadian Knifemaker’s Guild (CKG) Knife show in Toronto. This is their main show, and is one of the yearly events that I always look forward to. I am unable to make it to Blade Show, but Toronto is my fix.
The show features beautiful handmade knives by Canadian knifemakers, including swords, hunting knives, tactical knives, folders, and fixed blades. There are also guys there selling supplies for building knives such as damascus bar stock and scale materials. Admission is only $5, and I always walk away with something.
I have been collecting knives for over ten years, and they are something that I’ve grown to really enjoy having and learning about as time goes by. One of the knifemakers that I have been purchasing knives from for the last 6-7 years is Kirby Lambert. I own many knives from him, and continue to purchase a knife from him every year. Its like tradition! Custom knives are a bit of a niche interest, but please enjoy the photos I took at the show.
