8th Annual Texas Custom Knife Show

The Texas Custom Knife Show is back and bigger than ever for its 8th year—bringing the heat indoors for a full weekend of action, contests & demo's, and hands-on fun for the whole family.
Founded in 2018, the show was built to highlight the work of Texas bladesmiths and give custom makers a place to showcase, compete, and connect with fans in a high-energy, in-person setting. What started as a local gathering for Forged in Fire contestants to reconnect, has grown into one of the region’s top destination events for knife lovers, tool collectors, bladesmiths, and families looking for something different.
This year, we’re taking over the Montgomery County Fairgrounds with:
👉🏼 Live blade judging by Forged in Fire legend J. Neilson
👉🏼 Tomahawk throwing and interactive contests
👉🏼 A blade-forging experience where guests can make their own souvenir knife
👉🏼 Dozens of vendors offering handmade knives, gear, leather goods, and one-of-a-kind crafts
👉🏼 Food trucks, family activities, and crowd-favorite challenges all weekend long
Whether you're a seasoned collector, a first-time guest, or just looking for something unforgettable to do with your family—this is your chance to be part of an event where the craftsmanship is real, the competition is fierce, and the energy is unmatched.
