Re: Selling knives at Gun Shows - a discussion
I wrote a lengthy post about selling knives at gun shows from the perspective of someone who actually sells at gun shows, and then read that you're not willing to do this or that to obtain stock, and you're not interested in competing with whomever. My advice is that you save your money and not bot...

Re: Selling knives at Gun Shows - a discussion
We still have our tax-id and sales tax exemption / resale credential from our previous gun show business. Just looked at Blue Ridge Knives… that may be my only option (they do offer USA-made knives) - I’m not willing, nor interested, in going to flea markets or auctions, etc to find inventory - I al...

Re: Selling knives at Gun Shows - a discussion
I have been there and done that, although the conditions were a lot different in the early 1980s. Then the American knife makers were still going strong. I sold Old Cutler (a Colonial brand) and Parker (Japanese at that time) along with some Case, Camillus, Schrade, not the full line but some of th...

Re: Selling knives at Gun Shows - a discussion
Methinks my idea is DOA… else others would already be doing it
Hence the the tables I see are either the very inexpensive brands or the occasional custom knife maker showing off his/her wares
Without access to dealer pricing on my inventory… I wouldn’t last long, even as a hobbiest

Re: Selling knives at Gun Shows - a discussion
To the best of my knowledge, you don’t have to be an Authorized Dealer to sell knives at a knife show or a gun show. Of all the tables of sellers I see at knife shows, only two or three of them have brick and mortar stores. The majority of them are just knife collectors. I could set up a table myse...

Re: Selling knives at Gun Shows - a discussion
Jim, I'm not sure how much selling you intend to do but knife shows are your best option. No guns or anything else. Only knives and knife related products. Unfortunately, most knife shows are usually only held once a year. There is one in St. Louis this weekend that ends tomorrow but it won't be he...

Re: First Cup Diner!
Good Morning fellow diners. Currently 72 going to 82. Overcast; maybe we will get some rain. Bob Barker (The Price Is Right) died yesterday at 99 years. RIP, Commonly known is that Mark Twain's birth and death were bracketed by the arrival of Halley's Comet. So I was thinking that because on this d...

Selling knives at Gun Shows - a discussion
Let me start off by saying I’ve never even been to a true knife show… we don’t have them anywhere close. (Well… one per year about 4 hrs away in the middle of winter) I’ve only attended, as a vendor, gun shows and/or so-called ‘gun and knife’ shows My wife and I used to have a small, side business a...
