Table booked, now for the slow production ramp up to a feverish panic...

TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW!!!

The 2024 SYDNEY KNIFE SHOW is looking to be HUGE building on the success of the last few years' show. With 5 months to go, over 90% of exhibitor spaces are booked with top local and interstate makers, resellers, suppliers and more already looking forward to taking part in this year's show!

If you were planning on exhibiting we'd suggest booking sooner rather than later to reserve your space! Due to limited availability, preference will be given to custom makers at this time with a waiting list for reseller and supplies exhibitors.

For more information make sure you follow the Sydney Knife Show on social media platforms and to register as an exhibitor or to purchase tickets head to the website:

Shout out to the Knife Art Association, especially Andrew Smith and the team, for another very successful Sydney Knife Show. We had a great time catching up with the other makers and meeting everyone that dropped by our stand, whether they bought something or not.

We still have stock, so if you are interested in a tough, no nonsense blade send us a message or keep an eye out for future posts.

Cheers
Frank & Matt.

Welcome to F&M Blades!

When Sydney based amature knife makers Frank Luppino and Matt Snape attended the 2022 Sydney Knife Show they were disappointed to see some 'punters' opting for cheaper, imported blades of poor quality instead of the many wonderful custom pieces on offer from the array of highly talented Australian makers.

After a late night and too many beers, F&M Blades was created to fill this niche. By using computer design software and CNC technology along with more traditional hand shaping and finishing techniques and a more price conscientious approach, Frank and Matt have created a small range of GOOD quality, GREAT value tools for hunting and outdoors.

Come and see us at this years Sydney Knife Show, August 12th & 13th, Rosehill Racecourse.

Meanwhile, here is a prototype of one of our range. The "Mini-Sticker" uses a 1084 high carbon steel blade, micarta handle scales, G10 spacers and 316 stainless steel handle bolts.
