Northeast Cutlery Collectors Association 36th Annual Extravaganza Knife Show
Celebrating the Genius of George Schrade 
Saturday, April 28 - Sunday, April 29, 2018 
The Northeast Cutlery Collectors Association, Inc. is a 30+ year old Association serving old, factory & custom cutlery collectors. We collect pocket knives, hunting knives, antique bowie knives, military knives, antique swords and more! Our association is based in New England, but our membership extends worldwide.
As with all collecting clubs, we started out small, very small.  Believe originally we were 12 members strong in 1982. We had our swap meets in member's basements, cold barns, and usually in the summer. Membership grew to include not only antique pocket knife collectors and Bowie and hunting knives but also collectors of current factory made pocket knives, such as Queen and Case, moreover, we were joined by many custom knife makers. So now the club boasts membership of about 450, where half have life-memberships. All of us who work doing either the website content, newsletter printing and mailing and administration are volunteers, and we do it for the love of the hobby. 
Today, we have “knife shows” instead of swap meets, and instead of cold barns, we have them in Holiday Inns or the like, please take a look at our  show schedule of Knife Shows. People come to see what is up for display or sale by our members, and to talk collecting and hopefully find the elusive item they’ve been wanting to fill in that special spot in their collection. At our shows you can find all types of cutlery collectibles, including scissors and swords ( American & Foreign) carving sets, eating sets, old paper advertising, back issues of cutlery magazines and newspapers and more. You have to take your time and circle the room a few times to take it all in.
