2025 FNBA Passes
Welcome to the Friday Night Blade Affair! This unique event will provide a distinctive format that benefits collectors and makers.
Upon arrival, please pick up your pre purchased badge at the registration desk.
Your VIP badge will have a unique lottery entry number on the back for those of you that purchased two passes during our initial ticket release, your badge will have two unique numbers printed on the back of the badge. These unique numbers will automatically enter you into the lottery for all the knives and gear available at the show. Without the need to physically enter each maker's lottery, attendees will have more time to interact with the makers and appreciate their creations.
More Info
Five unique numbers will be drawn for each knife or gear at the show. Once all the winning
numbers are announced, 1st place winners will have the opportunity to purchase the knife or gear. However, there is no obligation to buy any knife or gear at the show. Each knife or gear will have five numbers drawn, from 1st to 5th place. The schedule below shows when each place can purchase that particular knife or gear.
There will be a dedicated table in the ballroom with a television viewing random.org to view all the lottery drawings for every knife or gear in the room. Five unique lottery entry numbers for each knife or gear will be drawn (1st to 5th place) and written on a card. Every entry number on a maker's table will only be drawn once; meaning one attendee cannot be drawn twice for the same maker, unless they have purchased two passes. The winning number cards will be placed in sealed envelopes. An announcement will be made to open all the envelopes showing the winners.
The maker at each table will confirm the attendee purchasing the correct knife
or gear at the proper time with the winning number on the back of their badge.
After the lotteries have concluded, open-bid (bid up) auction knives or gear will be available for viewing/bidding at the maker's tables, with the conclusion of each maker's open-bid auction knife or gear ending at a dedicated auction time. Two-minute anti-snipe rules apply.
Maker's may choose to have a closed bid (sealed bid) auction for one of their
builds. Bids for these knives or gear can be submitted on the maker's table throughout the show. Closed bid auctions end at the maker's discretion, so please be sure to keep track of the end times for each maker.
The show will provide complimentary food options and drink coupons for all
attendees. Enjoy the festivities!
