Man, I'll tell ya... I can't get over how giving knifemakers are. I've got it from a well-regarded authority that Mace Vitale will be donating his ponytail this year at Ashokan.

Also, I'd like to remind everyone that this is the year we've selected to strip Mike Spangler naked, apply a thick coating of maple syrup and unfaced R38 insulation, and chase him through the woods until we catch him.

Then we're going to beat him with shovels until he's ground into the soil. Afterwards we'll make s'mores and a puppet show.

More to follow!
 
Have you started drinking again?:eek: You must have lost your freekin mind with all that snow up there.

do you east coast guys really incorporate chasing naked men in the woods
and knifemaking at the same events???? we are rather reserved in the mid west in comparsion to those antics-- i reckon to each his own-- you are just asking for this kind of grief with that post!!! lol bb
 
Me thinks you need to stop hiding your stash in your forges or change the radiator in your still.

Before this gets out of hand, I want all to know that Ashokan has more information on all things knifemaking than any other knifemaking or bladesmithing event I've ever been to. Contrary to what the vast majority of my cheeky and jesting posts might lead some to believe, this is an amazing resource with some of the finest makers from around the world, sharing their experiences and methods. The expertise and the willingness of all to share with others is incomparable. I met folks there that are now like family to me.

I missed last year's seminar, and I'll not let that happen again.

There are a few of us that are responsible for horrible juvenile behavior, but don't let our classlessness scare you off - they manage to keep up pretty well segregated.

The food is worth the trip alone!
 
btw I've beaten Mace every single time we've faced one another for the Thumbwrestling Championship of the World on the wiggly bridge of doom.

Saturday night is Ladies Night, with free parking... and ladies, Paul LeTourneau will be there once again this year, guaranteed.
Man, the chicks dig Paulie. Justin Mercier hangs around with him just to be near all the wimmins that throw themselves at Paulie...
 
Has there been a legitimate challenge this year, since the announcement of the postponement of Sword year? I can't remember...

Wow, I just cut mine down by about 10 inches today. The girlfriend wasn't happy that my hair was longer than hers. :confused:

I'm stoked for Ashokan, what challenge are we having this year? :thumbup: It needs to be in my skill range so how about damascus shivs? :p

Sam unless the puppets are nekked, covered in maple syrup, wrapped in insulation, and running though the woods; then we are obviously not interested! ;)
 
Sam has proposed a bollock dagger ( ballock dagger).
I think that is a good choice. The Scottish dirk is the most common style of bollock dagger. Many other names were used for this style ( mostly to clean up the name for polite company).
The basic form has a long tapering dagger blade with the distinctive haft. The bollock name derives from the two rounded sections of the haft ,which comprise the guard. There is usually a bulbous pommel,too. Beyond that, there is a lot of latitude for making it simple or ornate.

Sam, I just want to get one thing clear......
