About the show
The UK's biggest knife show, The Sharp Show, returns again this autumn for its fifth year. We'll be back at The Sports Connexion, Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Coventry,
V8 3FL on 3rd October 2026.
We'll have over 80 exhibitors for you to discover, ranging from slipjoint makers, fixed blade makers, leather work and even those who will sell you everything to make your own knives with. They're all at the show.
Take time out in-between your perusal of the exhibitors by relaxing in the social area and catch up with fellow collectors, enthusiasts and friends.
I can't wait to see you all there again for another fantastic day.

The Social Show
A very important part of the show is the social area.
It gives you a chance to sit down, chill out, catch up with friends and show off your purchases.
Some people take the opportunity to show off some of their collections.
While you are relaxing, enjoy the offerings from the wonderful food vans outside. They are run by Eliza Jade Events and have everything from burgers to freshly cooked pizzas.
We also have an active Facebook group, where you can talk about who you are hoping to see, what you are hoping to buy and then what you actually managed to pick up!
It’s a great place to keep in touch with friends and pick up the odd discount code! Come and join in the fun at:
