The Art Knife Invitational is a one day show featuring the world’s most collectible knifemakers before an invited group of distinguished collectors. The knifemakers that make up the AKI(Art Knife Invitational), are chosen by a vote of their peers.

        To become an AKI(Art Knife Invitational) knifemaker is difficult. To be considered, you must be one of the very best in the world, and then pass a long vetting and voting process. The competition created by this process and membership within this group insures the creation of some wonderfully innovative knives.

        This unique show is an excellent opportunity to upgrade your collection, buy an outstanding investment piece or several since the emphasis is on more innovative work. Previous AKI(Art Knife Invitational)  shows have been the showplace for these makers to unveil new models, new locking mechanisms, new trademarks, one of a kind examples and a lot of really creative work. This longstanding tradition carries on today.
