Thanks Dudley for posting this up. I was going to do something but have been so busy. Here is the rest of the award winners as I remember
Best Tactical - Gavin Hawk. Was truly a nice knife and well deserved.
Best Bird & Trout - Gorden St Clair. This one was very nice as well I would like to own it.
Best Hunter - Butch Deveraux. Nice hunter There were lots of hunters entered in this category
Best new maker - Jermey Lindley. Wasn't even going to enter ( I talked him into it @ the last minute )
If I left anyone out my apologies.
As far as the show went was a nice small atmosphere. We were greeted with breakfast in the morning. Snacks throughout the day. Served by hostess Brenda a 4th grade school teacher who had the best personality.
My table was next to Ann Reeves of Chris Reeves Knives. and Jermey Lindley. Gavin Hawk was behind Jermey and we had wonderful conversation. Loved hearing about the history of Hawk Knives. Gavin had a one of the Hawk designed flipper made by Boker, Was a blast to play with. I think Jermey finally bought it for fear he was going to wear it out. At the end of the day cocktails out side.
I want to say a big thanks to everyone who has commented on this.
Mark, Glad to see that flipper being put to use.:thumbup:
John, You know I don't smile it might hurt my face
