53rd International Exhibition and Sale “Klinok: Tradition and Modernity”

About the event

The 53rd international exhibition and sale “Klinok: Tradition and Modernity” takes place in Moscow from 29 October to 1 November 2026. Makers, manufacturers and enthusiasts of blade craft meet at one venue. The displays cover a range of edged products, from knives and sabres to axes, hatchets and pieces from small workshops.

Visitors can discover work by established makers and family producers, compare design, materials and finish, and speak with exhibitors. Klinok combines a sales exhibition with demonstrations and presentations, so the event is about the objects themselves as well as their craftsmanship and the development of traditional blade-making.

The programme includes competitions and trials of edged products, stage performances, music, presentations and a cooking show. Guests can also see activities at the throwing range, demonstrations with axes and knives, and workshops. These formats complement the exhibition and offer different ways to explore traditional and contemporary blade craft.

The exhibition is intended for makers, collectors, manufacturers and anyone interested in edged products, craftsmanship and related goods. Visitors can explore different approaches to knife-making and meet people who design and produce the items on display. The programme combines professional presentations with public activities.

The event is held at the Main Stage venue, 13 building 33 Sharikopodshipnikovskaya Street, Moscow. Opening hours are 10:00–19:00 from 29 to 31 October and 10:00–16:00 on 1 November. Venue entrances are from Novoostapovskaya Street and 2nd Mashinostroeniya Street.
