I don't know but I hope it doesn't involve dodging blades...

Why not? Seems everything is a sport these days - look at the Olympics. I turn on TSN these days (The Sports Channel for us Canucks) and all I see is poker. Well, these guys do occasionally break out in cold sweat...I guess...

Sometimes using the buffer is like playing impossibly high speed dodgeball!

When people say they want to come to my shop and watch me work, I always respond that "knife making is NOT a spectator sport!"
I consider it art and poetry.

 

[Don Hanson III]

It's a way of life

 

[Keith Montgomery]

I don't think making knives is a sport, but the cutting competitions for makers are.

 

[McIntosh]

I agree with Don and Keith.

For me it is a passion and a way of life art and poetry. But I am a competitor. I love to compete. Knife making lets me do that I like to win but it is good enough just to compete. My friend John won best damascus at OKCA show and I enjoyed competing with him. Ray won best bowie, good for him, and he had to beat out a lot of bowies to do so. It was a good time just to compete with them. I think competition makes all of us raise our game. We all try to hit one out of the park you know get a home run. When I see John or Ray, I think I will pat them on the butt and tell them good game! For they have won at the sport of knife making, sort of

Rushing to your favorite makers table at the opening for the Blade show is a sport.
