Branson Hammer-In / Show

[Allen Newberry]

I recently had the opportunity to run a table for the ABS at the Branson Hammer-In/Knife Show.



It was a great time! The show is a lot of fun with demonstrations running all day both days.



Jerry Lairson giving a satin blade finish demonstration.




Jim Crowell forging a knife.




Brion Tomberlin giving a hamon tutorial


Plus, there is a cutting competition which is always a lot of fun.




Even the Steel Barron himself made an appearance!

Allen, there are few places I have more fun than at a knife show/hammer-in.
Thanks for taking the time, both here and at the show, to bring us these images.
So much time and effort goes into promoting what we do and love.
I guess the 78 people who viewed this ahead of me were too tongue-tied to say anything.

Allen,

I appreciate all of the work that you put in at the show and I'm sure that the other ABS members feel the same way.

Glad that you had a good time and thanks for the photos.

Karl,

Has the Minnesota winter caught up with you yet? I'd much rather make steel in the winter than in the summer that we just had here in the Ozarks. I've gotten more damascus made in the last two weeks than I did all summer .

Allen, thank you to you and your wife for manning the table. Also for the pictures. I always enjoy the Branson weekend, Gary does a great job for the makers and the public. Thanks again.

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen. I definitely have to thank my wife as well, seeing as how she watched the table while I watched a few demos.
