Reggie Barker Wins

[Robert Dark]

Reggie Barker from Springhill, LA won the ABS World Championship cutting contest today in Atlanta.

I spoke to him shortly after his win. His shirt was still soaking wet from the "bottle cut".

Also had the chance to see the knife he won it with......Big Honkin' Monster that was probably 5/16" thick at the ricasso.

Thought you'd be interested.

That's two years in a row; mighty impressive. There is a photo of the knife he used in the August Blade magazine.

Cool, thanks for letting us know. I saw him this morning wearing his "World Championship" knife and sheath.

I am really impressed with how Adam Des Rosiers did this year. He is a youngster in comparison to those he competed against, being only 29.
