For 27 years, the Adelaide Knife Show was run by Peter Bald, becoming the oldest continually run Knife Show in Australia with a reputation for forging a strong community and championing quality craftsmanship.

In 2022 the Australian Knife Art Association was honoured to be asked to continue the show’s legacy, now holding the show at the Ridley Centre at the Adelaide Showgrounds. The change allowed the show to expand, showcasing over 30 custom makers along side resellers, suppliers and other exhibitors from associated industries becoming the largest Knife Show ever held in Adelaide.

With over 1800 people attending in 2022, we’re looking to make the show even better in 2023 with more exhibitors, more demonstrations and more knives. The Australian Knife Art Association would like to invite you to be a part of South Australia’s biggest celebration of all things sharp!
