Charleston, SC (PRWEB) July 25, 2008 -- An exciting week-end can be experienced by meeting and discussing, face to face, the makers who have spent up to a year working on their latest creations. This is an opportunity to finally meet the knifemakers you have admired for years. Don't miss the Knifemaker's Guild Show (http://www.knifemakersguild.com) being held in Orlando, FL August 1 through August 3. What better way to appreciate a beautiful hand-crafted knife than to hold it in your hand, feel the perfect balance, and enjoy the workmanship, the precision ground blade with a mirror finish or the spectacular patterns in a Damascus blade. All this is possible at the annual Knifemakers' Guild Show where famous knifemakers from the United States and 12 other countries will be displaying and selling their latest knife designs.

Four guild members are selected each year to create special knives for the Annual Knifemakers' Guild Show. Gayle Bradley designed a two blade trapper with double bolsters and oosic scales. Marvin Solomon created a drop point hunter with a nickel silver guard and intricately pinned ivory scales. Bill King designed a gentleman's folder with heat colored Damascus bolsters, file work and a mushroom shaped thumb stud inlaid with a ruby. The scales are ivory with colored scrimshaw. Warren Osborne created a gentleman's lockback with Damascus blade and interframe construction. The scales are blacklip mother of pearl into white mother of pearl. Anyone attending the knife show will be eligible to win one of these four knives (http://www.knifemakersguild.com) and winners do not have to be present at the drawing.

While custom made knives have been made for Presidents of the United States, Governors, Senators, movie stars, and celebrities including knife enthusiasts from all walks of life, you can own one too. Gil Hibben, President of the Knifemakers' Guild is one of many custom knifemakers who has been involved in making knives for the movies. In 1987 Hibben was selected by Sylvester Stallone to create the knife for "Rambo III". After 20 years Hibben was again called upon to create a knife for the 2008 "Rambo" movie. He is also the "Official Klingon Armorer," having created the Klingon knives and swords seen in the "Star Trek" movies.
