SLICEFK EVENTS
The New Orleans Custom Knife Invitational is a premium, limited-entry custom knife event hosted annually in New Orleans, Louisiana. Created for both new and seasoned collectors, this show brings together some of the most elite custom tactical knife makers from around the world for a one-day experience of exclusive lottery and auction knives, connecting with fellow collectors, and high-end collecting.
Unlike massive convention-style shows, the New Orleans Customs Knife Invitational is intentionally intimate — giving attendees genuine access to makers, one-on-one interactions, and the ability to secure sought after pieces without the chaos of a large crowd.

Venue and Hotel information
For 2026, the New Orleans Custom Knife Invitational will be held in the Freedom Pavilion of the World War II Museum of New Orleans, Louisiana.
There are several hotel options near the venue. Most are within a short walking distance of 5 to 10 minutes.
If you are unable to book a hotel in close proximity, travel by car should not be too challenging but plan for traffic accordingly.
The partner hotel to the World War II Museum is the Higgins Hotel directly across the street. We are unable to create a dedicated show room block due to a large number of events taking place in the area the same weekend. We encourage you to book a room there as early as possible, even before tickets go on sale, if you are concerned about staying in close in proximity to the venue. In addition, one of the hotel's bars will remain open for our attendees after normal operating hours. If you're looking to keep the night going after the show, we invite you to join us at Rosie’s Rooftop Bar, located inside The Higgins Hotel.
In case of inclement weather, the gathering will move indoors to Kilroy’s, the hotel's bar and restaurant located on the ground floor.
