Whew! That was a fun day!
Peter - thanks for coming all the way up to attend, it is always nice to have you at a gathering!
It was very cool to see the new guys - we are starting to get quite a few people that can attend. Warmer weather will make it a little better for such a large group, although we had a pretty good day for Jan 31!!
Three new participants, roy06, greekgod454 and Uncle Fer all came and showed off some sweet knives.
It was like a knife hurricane with all the knives being passed about.
Several knives changed hands, although I could not
sell one lol......
I also cremated a few Rabers sausages for the crew, and the Boss made some of her tasty Sloppy Joes for the crowd (Thanks Connie and John!!)
All in all, another great day spent shooting the breeze about knives and talking to friends with like minded thinking.
Pictures!!
Here are two of darkmatter's newest sheaths - check out that basketweave embossing!! Very sweet! John S (darkmatter) has said that he is going to start lining the sheaths too, sweet!

Shhh - there were some Feb Sale knives shown about.....
It warmed up to a toasty 39ish later in the day
John pointing out the location of the great Coyote Chase of 2015. You can ask him to elaborate.
Cool Maxpedition bag , I thought.
Sean's mystery knife. It is either a fisherman's jack, or some sort of gynecologist's tool. :foot:
More misc pics -
Knives that KYenglish has re-scaled - he does very nice work!
darkmatter checking out the Crooked Creek - I think he likes it.

darkmatter eating his home-cookin'
The anticipation was palpable when the buns were getting spread for the "meating"...... :thumbup:
And then I cooked them to a nice "incinerated" state :barf:
Beautifully finished Toby's Knives - I think these are also for the Feb Sale - some beautiful wood there.
Uncle Bill bought himself another JK - and a number one to boot!
More HK knife blanks....Peter will be busy!
And always remember, Low cut blouses WILL BE looked down upon in this establishment!
Thank you to Lee for the donuts and Reds Ale, Uncle F'er and Sean for the chips, John and Connie for the Sloppy Joes, and Peter for the cool little Gerber multi tool!
Thanks for a great time Gents!
