The two Pauls - Johnston (l.) from Smiths Falls, Ontario and Savage (r.) from Ayr, Ontario - having a very serious technical discussion about the merits of stock removal over hand forging. (and of course a transcript of what was REALLY said: "So, where are we having dinner tonight?")

It was such a pleasure to again see several of the top makers from the province of Québec attending the CKG show! From left to right: Antoine Marcal, Juvan de Braga, and Juvan's father - the inimitable master of the movie sword: José C. de Braga. The blades that M. de Braga brought to this show were truly astounding.

Two more fine makers from Québec: Patrick and Paul-Aimé Fortier. Superb work, gentlemen!
