7th Annual Fox River Knife Rendezvous
« on: September 02, 2011, 09:51:00 AM »
OK - this is the 7th annual Fox River Knife Rendezvous on Sept. 10th, at 906 Porten Rd., McHenry, IL 60051.
It would surely be great to see some new faces.
This is the one-day-event sponsored by Rob Lindquist, and attended by many people we all know, makers, collectors and enthusiasts alike.
We have had an on going theme of making one knife in the day from conception to completion. That be making the Damascus, forging the blade, grinding, heat treating, handle work, embellishments, sheath, etc.
All accomplished by the makers who attend and witnessed first hand by the rather diverse group of people who show up, not only for the knife making and related subjects, but to also enjoy the wonderful company of other enthusiasts, eat freshly roasted hog, swallow down chilled beverages, etc,. all in the wonderful park surroundings on the river.
Got a better way to spend your day?
This is the knife we made in '09, followed by the knife we made in '10. Notice the glass bead made ON SITE and the ivory scrimshaw made ON SITE.
The people in the pictures with the knife are those who directly contributed to its creation during the day.
Then followed by just some regular ol' carrying on.

Hope to see some of you there.

Karl, both are very nice. Looks like alot of fun, from the picture it's hard to tell if that's a pig or a dead log. I'm guessing pig, because the guy is eating in the back ground. Ha ha

Karl,

Can't help but notice that you seem to be closing in on the bikini. I also noticed the knives, which look good too.
