2017 northeast beckerhead spring gathering.

Good times! I was having fun and forgot to take any pics. :-/

The gravy was my pleasure. I am just glad that I was able to contribute something that everyone enjoyed. Whoever took that pic did a good job. It looks good!

Besides the good food and great people I really enjoyed show and tell. I got to handle , fondle and use quite a few knives and tools I hadn't held yet. Splitting dowels with the Brute was cool. I hadn't held one before, it is a brute. Trying to split an 1/8 inch dowel with it was a challenge! Bladite brought some fun toys too. The Council Tool Saddle Axe, the TM Hunt M18 and a really cool old folding draw knife. Those were all really cool. I was very excited to see the Saddle Axe. We also had show and tell with a lot of other knives, some production and some custom, fixed and folders. I have a few new items on my wish list now.

The contests were a lot of fun. I ended up doing pretty well and am grateful and humbled by the generosity. Thanks again!!!!!!

Oh yeah, there was Scotch too. Mmmm.... Whiskey.....
 
Unstickied. Glad to see ya'll spreadin the good word!
 
A huge thanks to Trailbum and his family for setting this up every year and never once letting us down. These gatherings always have a positive vibe and great people.

Another huge thanks to Ethan and Ka Bar fr the generous prize box and for making such great tools.

We had a great time. Too much fun to remember to take a bunch of pictures. Here is what I took for pictures.
