Smoky Mountain Knife Works has a huge event coming up October 21-23. Every year, SMKW celebrates the brands we carry by hosting Vendor Rep Weekend at our retail showroom in Sevierville, Tennessee. This year more than 50 brands will send representation to this event to meet and talk with our showroom guests. The celebration, which runs from Friday, October 21 – Sunday, October 23 (9am-9pm daily), includes some great prices, incredible door prizes and giveaways all day, every day (must be present to win), and the opportunity to meet some really special guests. This is the one event that you do not want to miss!
Who are the special guests?
Dave Canterbury of Pathfinder School ( and star of the original Dual Survival) will be hosting Bushcraft & Survival Skills Weekend from a field beside our lower parking lot on Saturday & Sunday. There is no cost for this event, and Dave and his Pathfinder team will be teaching some amazing skills any survivalist needs to know.
