Shows Shows The Antique Bowie Knife Association hosts a meeting each year in locations that have ranged from coast to coast. These meetings are usually held in conjunction with a large collectors show of compatible type, such as antique arms shows, knife shows, gun shows, and Civil War shows. We have also held standalone events and mid-year events. Collector displays are encouraged at each of our annual meetings, and awards presented based on voting by all members in attendance.
