Its that time of the year to meet in East Tn. for a good time and learning and great fellowship .
Im hoping that we have a good crowd as we have had in the past .

we have a good lineup of demonstrations and some thing for every body from the very newest maker or first time student to the very advanced makers . we will cover or try to a wide range of knife making methods . -Forging - fit and finish - heat treating -proformance -stock removal-grinding - tool building - history-engraving - wire inlay - cutting contest- iron in the hat - Damascus making and other things related to knife making.
Lin Landrum Js, Bill Wiggins, Wes Byrd JS , ken Durum MS , James Batson MS, Burt Foster MS,Rade Hawkins JS, BillyBob JS, Mark Zalesky.Pubisher of Knife World-Richard Williams Master Craftsmen, the Real Larry kemp and a few fake Larry Kemps - Dana Akers-Allen Longmire -and my long time friend Jimmy Hyde and others will try to give you something to learn.

Ron, I'll send a cardboard cut out of myself to represent me this year. Maybe I can make it in the future. I'd sure love to attend......

If anyone is coming to Ron's hammer-in is interrested in a used Bader grinder, I have one to sell. It's a 1.5 hp, single speed with a platen, 8" wheel and small wheel attachment. It's in good shape. It is the one grinder I had when I got both my JS and my MS stamps. If anyone is interrested, I figured I'll bring it and you can save a bundle on shipping. Email me direct at burt@burtfoster.com if you have any questions.
 
Hey Bowie...

Your email's busted, I guess. Just wanted to let you know that I'll be there and I'm bringing someone.

See ya Friday,

Jason from the CRBG...

:D
