For an impressive 27 years, the Adelaide Knife Show was lovingly run by Peter Bald, earning its reputation as the oldest continually run Knife Show in Australia. Under Peter's guidance, the show became a cornerstone event for the knife community, forging strong connections and fostering a sense of camaraderie among enthusiasts. Now, in a momentous transition, the Australian Knife Art Association has been honoured with the task of continuing this rich legacy.

In 2022, the Australian Knife Art Association took the helm and moved the show to the expansive Ridley Centre at the Adelaide Showgrounds. This change allowed the Adelaide Knife Show to flourish, providing ample space to accommodate over 30 talented custom knife makers alongside resellers, suppliers, and other exhibitors from associated industries. The result? The largest Knife Show ever held in Adelaide—a testament to the enduring allure of blades and the thriving knife-loving community.

Building upon the tremendous success of previous years, the Adelaide Knife Show 2023 promises to be even more remarkable. With over 1,800 people attending in 2022, the KAA is dedicated to surpassing expectations by bringing together an expanded roster of exhibitors, jaw-dropping demonstrations, and an even greater assortment of knives. Prepare to be enchanted by an awe-inspiring display of craftsmanship, creativity, and the cutting-edge innovations of the knife-making world.
