to three weeks ago when we hosted thousands and thousands of guests from all over the world for Blade Show, the largest knife show in the world!

The BLADE Show’s large attendance combined with approximately 3,800 hotel room nights that were filled with attendees and exhibitors, provided an economic impact of $11.3 million on Cobb County and the state of Georgia, according to Cobb Travel & Tourism.

“BLADE Show generates the highest attendance of any show held at Cobb Galleria Centre, and while visiting our community, the exhibitors and attendees contribute new dollars to the local economy,” said Michele Swann, General Manager & CEO of the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum & Exhibit Hall Authority, owner and operator of Cobb Galleria Centre.

Cobb County directly benefits from this economic impact as visitors spend their dollars on local accommodations, transportation, entertainment and recreation, food, and retail, according to Cobb Travel & Tourism.

At BLADE Show, globally recognized exhibitors and legendary makers gather annually under one roof to introduce the largest selection of blades, knives, and outdoor gear and accessories in the world for attendees to purchase. Attendees shop hundreds of exhibitors and the world’s best knives. They also find the newest blades, one-of-a-kind collector knives, antique swords and much more along with browsing the equipment and materials used to make them. BLADE University knife education classes and various demos are also offered.

Originating in 1982 in Kentucky, the show came to the Renaissance Waverly hotel in 1992 and grew into the Cobb Galleria Centre in 1997. The BLADE Show now occupies over 200,000 square feet of exhibit and meeting space throughout the convention center.

"The 2024 BLADE Show was the largest show to date and continues to grow year over year," said Alicia Newton, Group Show Director for Caribou Media, owner of the BLADE Show. "Our attendees/exhibitors travel from all over the U.S. and internationally. The vast majority of our attendees visiting the BLADE Show hail from the southern region; however we have representation from over 45 states as well as Australia, Canada, South Africa, the United Kingdom and other countries."

Next year’s BLADE Show will be held June 6-8, 2025, at Cobb Galleria Centre.

Today we dedicated Johnny Gresham Circle at Cobb Galleria Centre in honor of the late, long-serving Authority board member. Johnny Gresham was a longtime Cobb County political and civic leader who passed away in 2020. He was devoted to both Cobb County and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Having served on more than 50 non-profit, civic and corporate Boards of Directors, Gresham’s life's work was in service to others. A member of the Georgia Tech Sports Hall of Fame, Gresham played running back at Georgia Tech from 1962-64. Gresham served on the Authority since 2002 and was the board's secretary for many years.

“We are grateful to Johnny for the positive spirit he brought to this Authority and for the never-ending support he demonstrated through his leadership on the Personnel Committee,” said Jerry Nix, Chairman of the Cobb-Marietta Coliseum & Exhibit Hall Authority.

Johhny Gresham Circle is a road on the Cobb Galleria Centre campus that intersects with Galleria Drive and is between the Red and Green Parking Decks. Pictured here are General Manager & CEO Michele Swann; Lynda Gresham, widow of Johnny Gresham; and Authority Chairman Jerry Nix.
