Free Entry for Visitors
From July 10 to 12, we will gather for this year’s KnivExpo at the magnificent Renaissance castle in the beautiful summer town of Vadstena. The Expo will be held in the Great Hall and the Courtyard, both providing a wonderful atmosphere that the castle adds to the event. The Great Hall can be easily accessed by elevator or stairs from the Courtyard entrance, or directly from inside the castle for those taking the guided tours.
The interest from exhibitors for KnivExpo 2025 has been very high, which means that, as in previous years, we will have several large tents in the Courtyard, in addition to the exhibitors in the Great Hall.
In both the Great Hall and the Courtyard tents, you’ll be able to see and purchase a variety of products, such as handmade knives, knife-making materials, leather, craft supplies, as well as machines and tools for knife-making, and more.
There will also be a wide range of activities, including demonstrations of grinding machines, blacksmithing, carving figures, spoons, chip carving, and leatherwork. Visitors will also have the chance to try out different crafts by participating in workshops. Another way to deepen your knowledge is by attending the lectures offered during the event.
As speakers are confirmed, their lectures will be posted on the website under Lectures KnivExpo 2025.
More details about what’s happening and the activity schedule will be continuously updated on our website and social media. So, follow us and feel free to share our posts at www.KnivExpo.se, Facebook (KnivExpo) and Instagram (KnivExpo).
Bring your dull knives and have them sharpened on-site by Erik "Kniverik" Wennerholm, a very popular feature from previous Expos. He always offers great
prices and high-quality work.
