Gary Mukey, a true gentleman, did an excellent job with this first Hammer-In and Show. Here he is filling an ice chest. The weather was a "little warm" Friday and Saturday so the ice chest was very popular.

The event was held at The Shepherd Of The Hills, a beautiful location. Here is a photo of "Old Matt's Cabin" , located on the grounds.

I set up in "Old Matt's Barn". Trust me, not the first time to set up in a barn.....:)

Burr King was there, with a really good sales pitch.........I placed an order for one, and I haven't made a knife in three years........:rolleyes:

Mr Ward,thank you for the beautiful pictures.That is a very picturesque location.
Very nice to see pictures of people and the place where the show is held.
Looking forward to more pictures.
Shame that you had to let a trivial thing like food interfere with posting pictures:D.

Very nice pictures ,Mr Ward,thanks for posting these.
I like the Raccoon hunter.Good pictures showing the face and tail of the raccoon.
The wire handled bowie by Newton is very unique.
Kyle Royer has done well this year,picking up quite a few awards for his knives.He has come a long way in a very short time.Does very good work.
This is a nice group of award winning knives.
 
Great pictures Chuck cant wait to see more!:thumbup: Chuck you had to have walked 20 miles that weekend how much weight did you drop!!:D
 
Wow - GREAT pics Chuck. I love that little Newton hunter. Ron had a similar themed piece with him at the Little Rock show several years ago and I still regret not buying it.

Thank you Chuck for sharing the beautiful images.

I will definitely try to attend this hammer-in in the future.

I have really enjoyed seeing the scenic photos posted from both here and Josh's hammer-in.

The United States is a BEAUTIFUL country.
