SUMMARY:Portland Custom Knife show
DESCRIPTION:In early 2014, we discovered that the Portland market did 
 not have a really good custom knife event.\nWith many years of experie
 nce producing the Portland Antique & Collectible Shows at the Portland
  Expo Center and our shows in the Puget Sound area, among others, we f
 elt that we could do a good job of bringing together customers and dea
 lers for both custom and vintage knives and swords. After one year of 
 research, we released contracts to 300 dealers in January 2015.\nThe K
 nife Show will be held as part of America’s Largest Antique & Collec
 tible Show, a 34 year old event that has a built in audience.  We bel
 ieve that the category of custom and antique knives and swords is very
  compatible with the existing antique show buyers since many of our at
 tendees are at the show looking for militaria, vintage weapons, Wester
 n Americana, vintage gambling, slot machines, swords and knives.\nThe 
 Antique Show is in Halls D & E and the Portland Knife Show will be in 
 Hall C, giving it its own separate hall.  In addition to riding on th
 e Antique Show’s extensive advertising campaign, which includes prin
 t, broadcast, digital, social media, email and direct mail, the Knife 
 Show will have its own budget, enabling us to advertise in Blade Magaz
 ine and Tactical  Knives, among other knife related publications. The
  Antique Show draws customers from about 20 states and having the Knif
 e Show in Hall C has been well received by the Antique dealers and cus
 tomers.\nWe’re looking forward to this exciting new opportunity. Our
  company’s mission statement is simply to ‘bring buyer and seller 
 together’, so our entire goal is for you to enjoy a profitable event
 .\nIf you have any questions, please contact us at info@christinepalm
 er.net or call us at (503)282-0877. WE are available Monday through F
 riday from 9 to 4:30.\n\n\nFor more information visit https://iknifeco
