Its not a knife show. Its not an industry trade show. It’s not a 9 to 5 stroll through a bunch of crowded aisles filled with tables and people that you don’t know. Its a huge family reunion with family members who you’ve personally chosen to call you own. There will be no strangers at The Gathering. Just hundreds of your closest friends and chosen family.

This show is a homecoming for us–we attended some great shows at this hotel back when it was the Hyatt-Regency, and Knoxville was home to several Blade Shows when we were producing that show. The Marriott is next door to the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, and convenient to the National Knife Museum, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is a convenient location with a 1 day drive of over 60% of the nation’s population.

Booths available or manufacturers. Handmade section. Door prizes.

Join Gary Blanchard, Gil Hibben, Great Eastern Knives, Blue Ridge Knives, the National Knife Collectors Association, J. Bruce Voyles, Auctioneers, Jim Sargent, Les Robertson, Bob Neal and hundreds more exhibitors at this New show in a long enjoyed location.

Also Usual Suspect Network members and NKCA members admitted with special discounts.

plus any Police, Fire, EMT, or U. S. Military FREE with valid ID.

It’s the Ultimate Party for USN Enthusiasts.

It’s not a knife show. It’s not an industry trade show. It’s not a 9 to 5 stroll through a bunch of crowded aisles filled with tables and people that you don’t know. It’s a huge family reunion with family members who you’ve personally chosen to call your own. There will be no strangers at The Gathering. Just hundreds of your closest friends and chosen family.

Sure, there’s a show too, but no boring, confusing aisles to navigate. The Gathering is set up in intimate quads, where a novice and two established makers or suppliers will join a major maker. A circular traffic flow guarantees that you won’t miss anyone, and makes it easy to re-locate them as well.

There will be plenty of knives, gear, lights and toys, but first and foremost, they’re all friends who you already know and trust because you deal with them and see them on the USN pretty much every day.

Speaking of family, we’ve set up special Spa options for the wives- they deserve to be pampered.

Aside from the show itself, have you ever imagined Traders’ Cove coming to life? You’re going to see it happen at The Gathering each night in a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. It’s the ultimate show and tell, trade and barter, buy and sell; all with great atmosphere, food, drinks and the best of friends. You’re actually going to walk into a physical version of Traders’ Cove, and party all night.
