Did I post this before?
Oh, well:
"If any of you guys are from Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, Southern Michigan, Northern Indiana, etc, I thought I might put out a little invitation to you!
It will be July 19th.
For the last three years, a knife collector/enthusiast has put on a two day/1 night "get together" of knife makers/collectors/enthusuiasts and otherwise trouble makers, up on the Fox River out west and North of Chicago. It's in a great setting along the Fox River in a park-like setting. I don't drink, myself, but I'll bet there are those of you who might enjoy some cold tap brew, at least two roasted hogs, all kinds of other food and frolic, not to mention about 150-200 people/makers/collectors/bikers and hot chicks hangin' out and talking about KNIVES!!!
We'll have a power hammer there this year, as well as forging demos, little instruction demos about cord wrap, inlay, scrimshaw, etc., etc., etc.
Peter Martin will be forging a billet of Damascus, Jerry Rados, maybe with a little back up help from yours truly, will be forging a blade from the billet, I believe Michael Kanter (Adam Michael Knives) will be grinding the blade out, hardening and doing a quick on-site temper, a little file work, etching, cord warp, etc. all in the same day.
There are no real accomodations, but plenty of room to toss up a tent to make the best of the weekend.
A little previous notice is appreciated so plenty of food is available.
It has been a complete blast each and every year.
Hope some of you can make it!!"
