Thanks Guys for testing here . Also all that demonstrated here ` Sava ms. Richard Williams forge Master, Larry Harly JS, Lin Landrum JS, Allen Longmire , Chuck Robenson ,Wess Byrd, Jerry VanEizenga,Mark Zalesky Knife World .
This years cutting contest was a lot of fun we had about 10 to enter and they were tough , but winners were 1st place Burt foster Ms Tn., , Tracy Dotson Fla 2nd place , they were 3 tied for 3rd place so we had to have have a rope cut off to get the third place winner which were Wes Byrd J.S.Tn.,
A good job was done by Lin Landrum and Bill wiggins for setting up the cutting contest and the events in it .

) Ron did a super class on silver wire inlay and I'm ready to start working on that! Thanks again Ron! The Iron in the hat was super, I had beginners luck and walked away with so much handle material that it took three trips to the Jeep just to load it up! I also ended up with three large (20"?) sawmill blades to use for knife blade material, I'll bet they are L6!
