Hi Bob!

The only one I know of yet is my buddy Dionatam Franco who won the award for best damascus (have been in love with his steel for quite some time now).

EDIT: David Broadwell got "best fixed".

As soon as I have an image I will upload it here.

Best,
Alex

Cas-Vogt- Best of the Rest

 

[Ben Seward]

Mike Quesenberry "Best Collaboration" and "Best of Show"

 

[Gary Mulkey]

Mike Quesenberry "Best Collaboration" and "Best of Show"

It's not hard to guess what won. Not my most favorite style of knife but "OUTSTANDING WORKMANSHIP"!
