ASHLAND, OR — Work Sharp Outdoor, the industry-leading manufacturer of knife and tool sharpeners, will showcase their new products and offer three opportunities for showgoers to explore the importance of legacy, preparedness, and success during the 38th annual BLADE Show, June 7-9, in Atlanta.
Featuring more than 1,000 exhibitors, the BLADE Show is the world’s largest knife show. The show unites globally-recognized exhibitors under one roof to debut the latest and greatest in blades, knives, and outdoor gear.
“We’re honored to have earned a place among the Show’s top makers,” said Josh Warren, Work Sharp’s Product Expert and Stoke Ambassador. “A knife or tool is only as reliable as its sharpest edge. Knife sharpeners aren’t sexy to some people, but they play a critical role in ensuring we’re prepared for any job or outdoor adventure that comes our way.”
Work Sharp’s presence at the BLADE Show further illustrates the brand’s conviction that “Sharp Matters.” As part of its commitment to legacy, preparedness, and success, Work Sharp is proud to offer the following show opportunities.
