Gator Cutlery Show 2026
For those of you who received your check back for tables, just hold on to your check as we are working on the show to take place, as scheduled, at the Funding Center in Lakeland FL. Same old show, same faces, same auction but with a new management. At present, we are trying to dot the i's and cross the t's before we make the grand announcement. There might be a slight name change for tecnical reasons but Francoise will still be at the door to greet you with her doggie and Red will still conduct the auction Saturday night. Putting on this show involves lots of money along with participants (table holders) so we ask that you tell your friends to save the date as announced at the end of last year's show and get ready to see all the familiar faces and some new ones. If you'd like tpo contact Alan Weinstein, here's his number 954-609-6485 or Craig 305-606-0964. Remember, it's a knife show that has gone on for 46 years, let's keep it going, thanks..

Sorry, I have been asked for the dates which remain the same as announced on the flyer you received last year at the end of the 2025 show.
We are presently trying to put this together as it takes quite a bit of upfront money.
Yes, parking will still be free at the funding center.
We are working on no changes; except for new management.

Rest assured, we will keep everybody informed.
Just in case any of you will attend the WPB gun show this weekend, be sure to stop by John Conte's tables as he might have more info.
Thanks,
Craig

News from Alan this morning . Here is his text message .
Mike,
It looks like I will be taking over the Gator Show. Dan and I are working on a plan. I, along with John Conte, am forming an new entity to produce the Show. I hope to have full confirmation in the next 10 days or so. You can tell anybody that’s interested, that the Show will most likely be as originally planned. No real changes, just different management. I’ll keep You posted!
