Blade Show Atlanta 2025: Knife Haul & Finds
Purchases from Blade Show Atlanta 2025
I went to Blade Show Atlanta with the goal of purchasing two knives:
a Hubertus Springer Shot Shell Puller Automatic Knife & a Latama Italian Stiletto Switchblade, along with stickers for knife cases and tool boxes. Additional considerations depending on availability and cost, Pro-Tech Don Switchblade, FlyFather 2 Balisong as well as any Balis, Switchblades or OTFs that peak interest for the right price.
If you haven’t experienced Blade Show Atlanta yet, you are missing out on an exceptional opportunity to discover remarkable collector knives at the world’s largest knife show. From the craftsmanship of Latama Italian Switchblades and Hubertus German Automatics to the artistry of Laguiole en Aubrac and other handcrafted masterpieces, there is an abundance of items to explore. Plan to spend at least a full day exploring, and be sure to pack snacks and water to maximize time on the show floor!

Blade Show Atlanta Knife Sticker & Decal Haul.
All the stickers, decals & swag acquired on Saturday and Sunday. While most were readily available as handouts, some had to be requested, and a few required additional effort to obtain. See full details along with knife cases labeled with stickers on page 5.

Is Blade Show a good place to find knives below retail prices?
Yes, no, & maybe. While some deals can be found, the real value lies in getting a knife in your hand, feeling the ergonomics and closely examining the fit, finish and handle materials, especially with handmade knives, as each one is unique.
See page 5 for more on the deals available.

You’ll need at least one full day at Blade Show to almost see everything!
I had only planned on going Saturday but arrived several hours later than I planned, ran out of time to see what I wanted and was too pressed for time to make good purchases. Also Mike Latham who I purchased the Hubertus Shell Puller from, convinced me to come back Sunday to trade some knives. It was on Sunday that I acquired the Latamas I was after. Next Year Blade Show Atlanta 2026 I may get a 3 day pass and go Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
