My peeps at the show tell me that Tad Lynch won the coveted Best New Maker award at the show, on submission of this knife:

Congrats Tad! If the secret wasn't out before, it is now.
Other awards I was informed of:
Best Bowie - John Horrigan for his piece for the CKCA dinner and mini-show.
Best Damascus - John White
Best Tactical - RJ Martin (they must be about ready to retire that award with his name permanently engraved by now)
Best Fixed Blade - Steve Rapp
Peck Award - best knife submitted by a Journeyman Smith applicant - Michael Ruth Jr.
Congrats to all!
Hopefully others can help fill in the significant missing slots.

Best Art Knife and Best of Show - Shaun & Sharla Hansen with an amazing short sword/large dagger.
