Thanks for posting Roger. I have to go back and look at them again, like right now. So many I'd love to own.

WOW, that was quite a show!

Seeing all these knives in one thread has made me REALLY wish I could have been there. Thanks for the pics.

You have no idea Eli. These knives were super and yet there were many more that were equal to these. John White's dog bone bowie and several of Terry Vandeventer's bowies were very cool. Don't even get me started on JR Cook's knives:thumbup::thumbup:

Great knives expertly captured by Chuck Ward! The Arkansas Knifemakers Association show is said to be one of the best regional shows in America today. This may be due to a combination of factors, but at the core of the AKA show success is a notable depth and breadth of knifemaker talent readily apparent to anyone who attends.

I spill coffee every time I see that D guard with the barrel. What calibur is that Roger?

Congrats to all the winners. Well deserved.
