See You at Blade Show Atlanta 2026
Clinton House was the warmup. Atlanta is the main event.
Iron Ethos is headed to Blade Show Atlanta — the world's largest knife show — June 5 through 7 at the Cobb Galleria Centre. We're bringing the Field Series fixed blades. This is the room they were built for.
About the Show
The Room Where It Counts.
For over 40 years, Blade Show has been the single most important gathering in the knife industry. Over 900 exhibitors across two showrooms. Legendary makers side by side with production brands. Collectors who've handled more steel than most people will see in a lifetime, standing two feet from the table evaluating yours.
There are no casual opinions at Blade Show. The people who walk these aisles know exactly what they're looking at — blade geometry, grind consistency, full-tang integrity, handle fit. They've seen everything, and they notice everything. That's precisely why we want to be here.

What We're Bringing
The Field Series. Built for This Room.
Come see the
The Field Series is Iron Ethos's answer to what a working fixed blade should be. Full flat grind, 14C28N stainless steel, G10 handles — every construction decision made around performance under real conditions, not showroom aesthetics. Thirty-plus years of family metallurgical craft in Yangjiang set the standard. Every piece is produced in our own workshop, from raw material to final edge, with zero compromise on consistency.
Blade Show is one of the few places where a fixed blade gets the examination it deserves — blade geometry, plunge line, grind consistency, handle-to-blade balance, full-tang integrity. We're ready for that conversation.
What Blade Show Attendees Will Evaluate
Steel Spec
14C28N stainless — Sandvik-developed, nitrogen-enhanced alloy. Better edge retention than standard 420 or 440A, with the corrosion resistance required for field and hard-use carry.
Blade Geometry
Full flat grind with precise plunge lines — tip-to-belly consistency that holds up under real cutting loads, not just controlled test strokes.
Full-Tang Construction
Single piece of steel from tip to pommel. No hidden joints, no flex points. The handle and blade move as one unit under load.
G10 Handle Scales
Textured for positive grip in wet, cold, or gloved conditions — profiled to sit flush against the hand without pressure points during extended use.
Sheath Integration
Carry system designed for the blade, not adapted from a generic pattern — retention, draw angle, and attachment points built around how the knife is actually used.
Why This Show
If It Stands Up Here, It Stands Up Anywhere.
Blade Show is the credibility floor. The attendees who walk this show — collectors, makers, dealers, hardcore EDC carriers — have handled thousands of knives. They know what $30 steel feels like versus what $300 craftsmanship feels like, and they can tell the difference by holding the blade for ten seconds.
Iron Ethos is a factory brand built to custom tolerances, produced in our own workshop, from a family with three decades in the craft. Blade Show is exactly the room where that story gets tested against the sharpest possible audience. We're not here to pass. We're here to belong.
Three Days in Atlanta
Beyond the show floor, Blade Show runs a full program across all three days — BLADE University education sessions, live demos including the Blade Sports World Championship Cutting Competition, Balisong Flipping Championships, and nightly after-parties at the Blade Show Pit. It's the one weekend a year where the entire knife community is in the same building.
We'll be exhibiting throughout all three days. Booth location will be announced closer to the show.
