Blacksmiths are a sociable bunch. Craftsmen's gatherings have a long tradition, not least because lifelong friendships were often formed on the journey...
And if you're organizing an interesting meeting yourself or have a tip for an event, you can easily let us know via our contact form or by email! Thank you :)
Entirely dedicated to custom knives
In the heart of Europe, less than 2 hours by train away from Paris, one hour and a half from Stuttgart and one hour from Basel, gifted with a rich historical and cultural heritage, famous for its gastronomy, its wines and friendly hospitality, Strasbourg has everything to please, especially with a good knife show !
To satisfy the demand and to fill the void of an important knife show in this part of France, we have decided to correct this and so it is a great pleasure to invite you to participate to the Euro Knife.
Entirely dedicated to custom knives, the event will welcome renowned knife makers from around the world to offer them premium conditions to present and sell their creations in the cool and classy atmosphere of the Hilton Hotel lounges.
We are a team of friends knife lovers: collectors, professional makers, hobbyists, users with backgrounds as diverse as the different knives that we own. We have taken the habit to meet regularly together to share friendly moments and simple pleasures, showing each other our last knives, discussing endlessly about styles and techniques and enjoying, besides our mutual company, good things to eat and to drink.
By organizing Euro Knife Show we aim to share these privileged moments on a wider scale and with greater numbers, and offer knife makers the opportunity to show their works to a new audience while enjoying the pleasure of our beautiful region, the Alsace. EKS is a non profit organization.

vom 3. bis 6. September 2027
The Casentino Valley is ready to welcome the XXVII European Biennial Show of Blacksmithing Art: all of the volunteers of our Association, supported by the entire town of Stia, are already working hard to organise the next edition which will be held from 03. to 6 September 2027.
From 3 to 6 September 2027 – The 27th Edition of the European Biennial of Blacksmith Art Returns to Stia, Tuscany
Forging, applied arts, and design. From 3 to 6 September 2027, the town of Stia, in the province of Arezzo (Tuscany), will host the 27th edition of the European Biennial of Blacksmith Art – an international event dedicated to the craftsmanship and artistic expression of wrought iron. The Biennial is promoted and organized by the Autonomous Association for the Biennial of Blacksmith Art in Stia and the Municipality of Pratovecchio Stia.
For four days, blacksmiths from all over the world will gather in this charming Tuscan village in the Casentino Valley to share techniques, exchange ideas and best practices, and spark creativity.
Since 1976, the Stia Biennial – the world’s longest-running exhibition of artistic wrought iron – has transformed the town’s squares and streets into an open-air workshop. The event preserves and celebrates an ancient craft deeply rooted in the local culture while projecting it into the future, reimagining ironwork for contemporary society.
The Biennial is also an opportunity to bring a wider audience closer to the value of handcrafted and artistic ironwork. Live forging demonstrations, exhibitions of wrought iron pieces, conferences, markets, children’s workshops, music, and other side events will allow visitors to see forging techniques up close and interact with artisans.
THE BIENNIAL IN EUROPE
As an international centre of excellence, Stia is an active member of the Ring of the European Cities of Iron Works, a network established in 2003 that brings together Europe’s most important wrought iron traditions through cultural exchanges and shared projects.
This year, the Biennial is also part of the European project Iron Notes, co-funded by the EU under the Creative Europe Programme. Partners include the LAB University of Applied Sciences (Finland, project coordinator), the Estonian Academy of Arts (Estonia), Oslo National Academy of the Arts (Norway), University of Gothenburg (Sweden), Finnish forging company ME-talli Oy, and – for Italy – the Biennial of Stia.
