Voting member here. The easiest way to get your signatures is to take your knives to a knife show like the Blade Show. I got all of my signatures the same day at the Blade Show in 2007 in June and had a table at the Guild Show in Orlando in July.

Got my box today.

And the Wiiner is Ronald P. Rochon! Congratulations and Merry Christmas to all!

I have tried a couple of time over the last few years to somehow organize Kentucky knifemakers in some mutually beneficial manner. There has been some intrest but when it comes to finding a time and place for everyone to get together, it falls apart. I set up a website and offered free...

Since even before I started making knives some 8 years ago, I have been privileged to meet and learn from literally hundreds of knifemakers including some of the true legends of the craft. Out of all of that, I have met exactly one who acted like I was not worthy of being in his presence. On...

Welcome Justin and good luck with your knifemaking. I was in Bowling Green yesterday to do some cowboy action shooting. I live in Louisville. If you are ever up this way give me a shout.

Where is this?

Lookin good there Marvin!

I'll throw a design into the ring.
