The 24th China (Yangjiang) International Hardware Knives and Scissors Fair (CKSF) is set to take place from October 21 to 23 in Yangjiang, Guangdong.
This fair will adopt an "exhibition + conference + competition + trade" model, aiming to create an international professional platform that integrates exhibition displays, industry exchanges, competition selections, and trade matchmaking.
The announcement was made at a press conference held on October 10.
The event will be hosted at the Yangjiang International Convention and Exhibition Center, covering an exhibition area of nearly 20,000 square meters, featuring four exhibition halls with a total of 550 booths.
The exhibition zone will be divided into five specialized sections: raw materials and auxiliary materials, accessories, finished products, brands, and intelligent machinery. These sections encompass the entire industrial chain, ranging from steel and knife handles to CNC machine tools.
Both domestic and international products will be showcased at the fair. Renowned domestic brands such as Shibazi, Wangmazi, and Zhangxiaoquan, along with representative local enterprises from Yangjiang and international companies from Japan, will participate side by side.
Additionally, a special knife and scissor exhibition will display characteristic products from China and abroad, including Yangjiang handmade knives, Yengisar knives, and Japanese cutlery. To enhance the visitor experience, the fair will also feature various scene-based performances, such as interactive dance routines by intelligent robots and safety inspection demonstrations.
In addition to deepening cooperation with buyers from Europe and the United States, this fair will emphasize strengthening collaboration with emerging markets. It will invite 10 emerging market e-commerce platforms, nearly a hundred influential e-commerce personalities, and international trade delegations to participate. Activities such as product selection meetings and factory tours will be organized.
On-site events will include gold medal selections, new product launches, and salons focusing on the development trends of new materials.
Known as the "No. 1 Expo in China's Hardware Knives and Scissors Industry," the CKSF has been successfully held for 23 consecutive years.
