TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW!!!

The 2023 SYDNEY KNIFE SHOW is looking to be HUGE with over 200 tables booked by top local and interstate makers, resellers, suppliers and more ready to take part in this year's show!

Corin Urquhart should need little introduction to the Australian Knifemaking community. Over the last decades Corin has passionately assisted hundreds of people with their making journey, be it their first knife, machining, help, advice or providing tools and materials from his own hoard. Best known for starting Gameco Artisan Supplies in 2012 (although some would say his love of barrell knives!!!) and a founding member of the Australian Knife Art Association, Corin has been instrumental in running Knife Shows and events in Australia. For the first time, we are looking forward to welcoming Corin to the show as a custom maker, exhibiting his own range of products, the Niroc's Knockometers - Hammers and Random Restorations designed and crafted at the Picton Bunnings for the Australian Maker Community.

For all the latest news and information make sure you follow the Sydney Knife Show and to purchase tickets head to:
