The Georgian Knife Makers and Collectors Association is delighted to welcome you once again to its annual exhibition and sales event, Knife Show Tbilisi 2026, taking place on October 24, 2026, at 12:00 PM at The Biltmore Hotel Tbilisi.
For the fifth consecutive year, Knife Show Tbilisi brings together Georgian and international knifemakers, blacksmiths, artists, collectors, enthusiasts, and companies representing the industry. The event continues to grow and evolve each year thanks to the support of craftsmen, participants, partners, and visitors.
Our primary goal is to develop and promote the industry, support artisans, and introduce their craftsmanship to a wider audience.
Special emphasis is placed on showcasing emerging and aspiring craftsmen, designers, and enthusiasts, creating new opportunities for them, while also bringing the work of experienced makers to an even broader audience.
Knife Show Tbilisi also provides a space for direct interaction between craftsmen and visitors.
Guests will have the opportunity to examine the displayed pieces up close, hold them in their hands, purchase their favorite creations, learn about the history and techniques behind their production, and meet the makers in person.
For us, this field extends far beyond the production of knives and weapons. Blades, swords, daggers, and knives have been an important part of Georgian culture and craftsmanship for centuries. Across generations, not only the objects themselves but also the knowledge, skills, and traditions of their creation have been passed down.
One of the association's key objectives is to preserve and develop this knowledge and cultural heritage while introducing it to contemporary society.
Knife Show Tbilisi 2026 will feature custom-designed and handmade knives, traditional weapons and equipment, hunting and historical pieces, as well as creations showcasing a wide variety of styles, sizes, shapes, mechanisms, and aesthetics.
Both Georgian and international craftsmen will participate in the event.
The exhibition will also feature professionals offering related services, including engraving and knife-sharpening specialists, alongside companies, stores, and galleries presenting knives, hunting, fishing, and camping equipment, tools, machinery, and various themed accessories.
This format encourages direct connections between craftsmen, collectors, customers, and companies operating in the industry.
As part of the exhibition, a qualified jury will evaluate the displayed works. Winners will be selected across various categories, followed by an awards ceremony.
The tradition continues this year — every admission ticket automatically enters a prize draw.
Visitors will have the chance to win themed prizes provided by our partners and sponsors. Prize draws will begin on October 24, 2026, at 2:00 PM. Information about the prizes will be announced gradually on the Georgian Knife Makers and Collectors Association's Facebook page.
Each ticket has a unique number.
Ticket Price: 70 GEL
