Its a gathering of blacksmiths and knifemakers near Blairsville Georgia.
You can show up and learn to forge a knife with experienced blacksmiths. Learn tips and tricks from GOATS like Carl Rechsteiner, Rick Lowe, Paul Brach, Andy Roy, and many others.
There's always lots of handmade knives for sale from various makers. Also some raffle knives. Just a group of good people enjoying a good time. Everyone is welcome.
I've been coming to this event for seven years now. Its a 17 hour drive for me.
This is a special one as its the 50th Hammer-In at Trackrock.

You guys would have a great time! I bet your boys would love to forge their own knife.

I would love to say absolutely but I can’t eat shellfish. Few years back I started having gout attacks and it was shrimp. I ate a ton of shrimp at that time.

If u aren't coming to track rock we can't have a beer together and you aren't getting any gumbo
