The 21st C.I.C. knife show on 2-3th December 2017

The Milan event was successful. Milan has a reputation for being a dynamic city, the Italian business and fashion capital, friendly and welcoming.

The C.I.C. show usually takes place over the last weekend in November, when the city is already in expectation pre-Christmas shopping. In addition the great advantage of Milan is easy accessibility because it’s served by direct flights from Europe and others continent.

Corporazione Italiana Coltellinai show passed in the one of the city’s most prestigious exhibition spaces in terms of atmosphere and architecture. It was The Marriott Hotel, which more than once hosted this show.

The C.I.C.’s Board of Directors decided to limit participation in the show, exclusively to makers of handcrafted knives. It made the show almost unique in the world and aroused interest on the part of collectors, who came from all over the world.

In recent years the show had the opportunity to present to the attention of visitors the blades crafted by the founding fathers of artistic knife making (Randall, Schmidt, Moran). These exhibitions of collectors’ knives are provided by private Italian and foreign collectors.

Within the 21st C.I.C. knife show NOBLIE company presented its project ART KNIFE GALLERY. Visitors of the exhibition were shown about 20 new custom and collection knives from the series.
