This past weekend was a big one for the forged knife. Mark was at the Piney Woods Hammer-in, so we had to rely on our friend “Hocky” Hockensmith to serve as our “roving corespondent”, which sounds unnecessarily grandiose, as he is local to the area, and wild horses couldn’t have kept him away.

Is that the infamous “Peddler’s Bag” draped over the chair in the background?

Steve Nuckles is a good friend of Hocky’s, and of Del Corsi as well I believe.

Mark speaks highly of Steve as well. Which is a heck of a compliment.

The feathers below are wooden. Pretty cool.

There were lots of other notables present for the show….

E.Jay Hendrickson, MS/ABS

Hendrikson and son Shawn

Ben Abbott

Dave Baker (and Hocky)
I am sure that Hocky will elaborate in the comments. But we appreciate his giving us a glimpse into what looked to be a great show.
