Hammer-In

[m l williams]

We wrapped up the ABS 19th Annual Spring Hammer-In in Old Washington Arkansas this weekend. A little rain, but a fantastic weekend. Some of the very best in the business showing the tricks of the trade. These are the men and women who are actually taking knifemaking to the next level. They are giving their time and resources to educate others in the craft of the forged blade. Only in this way do we progress. A heartfelt thanks to Scotty Hayes, Texas;Jim Batson, Alabama;Lora Sue Bethke, Michigan;James Cook,Arkansas; Jim Crowell, Arkansas;Harvey Dean, Texas; Audra Draper, Wyoming; Don Fogg, Alabama; Jerry Fisk, Arkansas; John Fitch, Arkansas; Joe Flournoy, Arkansas; Larry Harley, Tennessee; Amy Hinchman, Arkansas; B.R. Hughes, Texas; Ray Kirk, Oklahoma; Al Lawrence, Arkansas; Greg Neely, Texas; Ron Newton, Arkansas; Lee Reeves, Oklahoma; Dickie Robinson, Texas; Kenny Rowe, Arkansas. Till you have attended a hammer-in you cannot imagine the sharing of information that goes on. At the demo's, in the parking lot, at the motel. It's great. See ya'll this fall. Again thanks mike

Thanks Mike,
With a line-up like that there is no way that a maker or collector could avoid learning a lot and having too much fun with a bunch of good folks.
