Hey folks my 33rd Hammer-in event is coming up next month. Sorry for the late posting, just been real busy this year. Please read notice attached.

Not all great knives are hammered from steel!

Fall Trackrock Benefit Knife
Handcrafted and donated by my good friend and exceptional flint knapper Benjie Cronic.
The 6” blade is knapped from India Bloodstone with an antler handle and comes with display stand shown.
It will be on display during the Hammer-in.
We raffle off a custom hand made knife at each event. Proceeds go to Scottish Rite Childrens’ Hospital in Atlanta, GA
Tickets are $10.00 – you do not have to be present to win (but you really need to see this in person, it’s a beauty!)

I have been several times and it is well worth going to see.. Many Craftsman tons of skills and artwork, You can get to use a forge and learn..Carl is great guy and has a ton of talent and skills..
 
Wish I could be there. Sounds like fun and I've wanted to visit a place that does the forging demos.
It's been so much fun that this is the 33rd Trackrock HI event I've held (2 each year). Next one should be around the end of March 2018, so make plans.
You might also want to check out both the Georgia Custom Knifemakers' Guild and the Flint River Knife Club (I am a member of both). We often have forging demos at these meetings as well as other knifemaking related demos. If you are interested send me a pm and I'll get contact info to you.
