I hope everyone in Atlanta is having a great Show, Makers and Show Goers alike.

If any of you in the know have the Award Winners and ABS JS/MS results it’d be much appreciated.

I know that Haley DesRosier won Best Hunter and Gus Cecchini Won Best Folder...
 
I would love to see a good shot of Franco's work. From what I've seen on Instagram that dagger was off the hook.
 
Best collab went to Breda/Seward. Priveledged to have put my grubby mitts around this handle. Hard to let go! Oh. my...

I saw Haley Desrosiers' knife that won best hunter on Instagram.... amazing with the keyhole handle.

The blade mag. Link only shows pics of some. Leaves out all pictures of the custom knives. Sad!
 
Congrats to the Bens!

There were some Monster collaborations this year!
