2019 Annual Banquet & Mini Show
Our CKCA Mini Show and Banquet is held annually Thursday Night prior to the Blade Show in Atlanta, GA in early June. If attending Blade Show, you won't want to miss this, as our Banquet & Knife Show has become one of the most popular events at the Show. The Mini Show Knife Makers put together their hard work and pictures of the knives will be posted around early to mid May.
Not only is this a great evening with friends, knifemakers and collectors but also an opportunity to meet new fellow enthusiasts, perhaps purchase a special knife and of course great food. The menu will be posted when we draw closer to the event as well as the price per person.

Giving Back to the Membership
In the last few years we have taking a direction of giving back to our membership and many makers, dealers, suppliers and collectors have really stepped up to this new direction. We have had several provide "give away" items for our banquet to those members in attendance. Such items from the past have been knives donated by Kyle Royer, Jerry Fisk, Michael Ruth, CAS and Roger Glasser. Also a collector donated wood display boxes. Dr. David Darom has graciously provided several of his newly released books too! If anyone would be interested in donating anything to "give back" to our membership, please reach out.
Ladies Only Giving Back. We wanted to give back to those members and supportive lady spouses. We started this last year and greatly appreciate Audra Draper for donating for the last several years. Along with Dana Gahagan for donating last year.
Thank you for the generous donations of these two knives by Scott Gallagher & Jim Poling both JS makers.
