Knifemania Expo

On August 1, at VDNG Pavilion 10, everyone who lives by knives and gear will gather: makers, collectors, tourists, EDC fans, and those who simply love great company and interesting handmade crafts.

What will be happening? The first global knife exhibition in 9 years! Makers from all corners of Ukraine will gather at VDNG. Guests are in for a packed day surrounded by Ukrainian craftsmen, manufacturers, collectors, sharpeners, and knife enthusiasts. This is an event where you can see knives in person, chat with makers, and learn more about materials, steel, sharpening, maintenance, and manufacturing techniques. And don't forget to bring your own knives: here you can get them sharpened or have custom engraving done!

Entertainment and Activities Giveaways, previews of new seasonal items, voting for the title of "Ukrainian Knife Enthusiasts' Choice 2026," and a knife raffle among all visitors! Come by yourself, invite your friends—both those who have been into knives for years and those who are just starting out. There will be plenty to see!
